Restoration companies are the first responders of the construction world. They’re there to help when significant damage happens to a home, whether the damage is fire, water, sewage backup, or a whole host of other problems. Restoration companies clean up the mess and work to preserve and protect the home from further damage.
-
Home reconstruction is exactly what it sounds like, functionally tearing down and rebuilding the home. Sometimes in reconstruction, the framing and foundation of the house can be used. Restoration is the process of ameliorating and repairing serious damage to a home.
-
Restoration contractors are the agents of the company that work to help get the necessary work done on the restoration. They work with insurance companies and other stakeholders to make sure that things are done properly and are paid for.
-
Polished concrete is relatively low-maintenance. Regular cleaning with a neutral pH cleaner and periodic resealing will help preserve the finish and extend the lifespan of the polished surface. Our team can provide detailed maintenance guidelines during the installation process.
-
Companies often employ crack repair techniques, such as filling cracks with specialized sealants or epoxy injections. Proper substrate assessment during installation and accommodating expansion joints can help minimize future cracking.
-
Specialized stain removal techniques involve using poultices, chemical cleaners, or diamond grinding. Prevention measures include applying protective sealers to minimize the absorption of contaminants.
-
Regular maintenance practices, including routine cleaning and the application of protective coatings, help minimize wear and scratches. Implementing walk-off mats in high-traffic areas also helps reduce abrasive debris.
-
Ensuring a uniform concrete mix and proper curing during placement helps achieve consistent surface hardness. Adjustments during the early stages of concrete placement can address variations and enhance the polishing process.
-
Moisture testing before installation is crucial. Installing a vapor barrier or using moisture-resistant concrete mixes helps mitigate potential issues. Adequate ventilation and dehumidification also contribute to preventing moisture-related problems.
-
Surface preparation is key to preventing adhesion issues. Companies ensure compatibility between products, conduct thorough substrate profiling, and follow manufacturer guidelines for the proper application of polishing materials and sealers.
-
Color correction techniques, such as tinted sealers or additional color treatments, are employed to achieve uniformity. Properly controlling concrete mix ratios and curing conditions during installation helps prevent color discrepancies.
-
Uneven surfaces can be improved through re-polishing or leveling the substrate. Companies may use diamond abrasives to achieve a consistent finish and address variations in the concrete surface.
