Uneven Concrete
High and low spots in a slab telegraph through a thin coating and can leave puddles. Grinding or self-leveling underlayment addresses the issue before finishing. Every slab is different, so recommendations depend on an on-site evaluation — we do not diagnose specific floors from photos alone.
Common causes
- Poor initial floating
- Settlement
- Multiple patches of different heights
How we approach it
- Diamond grinding to knock down high spots
- Self-leveling underlayment for low areas
- Full resurfacing when the substrate is broadly out of plane
Preparation
- On-site evaluation of the concrete and any existing coating
- Moisture and adhesion testing where warranted
- Full mechanical preparation before any new material is installed
- Compatible repair materials for cracks, spalls, and pits
Frequently asked
Can a coating level the floor?
No. Coating film is far too thin to correct level. Level the substrate first, then coat.
