        Damp concrete floors – fix them the easy way

        Damp concrete floor / Cracked Concrete Floor

        Fix old damp concrete floors using a Liquid DPM

        So you have a damp concrete floor from Victorian times, or a perfectly good garage floor with no DPM (damp proof membrane) installed. You don’t fancy breaking it up carting it away or relaying it.

        Good news, now you don’t have to replace the concrete floor, you can repair the concrete floor and leave it like a new concrete floor finish, flat and dry.

        Our product EP40 Epoxy Floor Coating System is a two-pack liquid DPM resin membrane which is an easy to apply retro-fit liquid damp proof membrane system.

        Process to fix old damp concrete floors

        Its quick and simple.

        1. Clean surface of floor
        2. Repair cracks/seal edges with Repair Mortar
        3. Apply EP40 Liquid Membrane with brush/roller
        4. If floor is uneven:
        5. Apply Grip Grit to the wet EP40 Liquid Membrane
        6. Pour a Self Levelling Compound over the top of EP40 Liquid Membrane when dry

        Job done – only a day’s work for one man on an average floor (up to 20m2) and a lot less hassle and at a fraction of the cost.

        Items you will need for to fix your damp concrete floor are as follows:
