One of the main reasons that concrete is so often used for building foundations and flooring is its longevity. A concrete floor can feasibly last decades, standing up to the many different types of wear and demanding environments like warehouses, auto garages, manufacturing facilities, chemical processing plants, and more. But concrete is not completely without risk of damage. Improper initial installation, environmental conditions, and physical damage can all cause concrete slabs to develop different faults. Many of these challenges can shorten the lifespan of concrete or lead to future problems when installing a new concrete floor in your commercial facility. These challenges make it important to work with an experienced flooring contractor to identify and fix problems that develop with concrete flooring or take all the right preparation steps before a flooring installation.
