Thats why I'm buying a mat to hopefully contain the water to the mat only.

Dodge, what kind of piping and where did it run from your basin? Does it tie into an existing drain system?

VCT over epoxy? A few questions...
Published (2009-12-17 00:56:00)
Yes you will want to scrape off as much of the loose epoxy off of the floor as possible. Than I would take rented a floor sander (The buffer type) and sand the entire floor. Clean it up, then put a coat of floor prep on the entire floor. (I prefer http://www.ardex.com/productDetail.a...9&ProductID=65 ) Then after your prep completely dries you can sand it, clean it again and you will have a smooth surface ready for VCT. You would...

Hello halo -
You can do a search here in the forum for all things modular garage flooring and I am sure some will pipe in.
To answer a few of your questions - Making a floor 100% waterproof with tiles or any other covering leads to many issues - including Mold, Mildew, and odors. THe reason being is concrete is like a sponge and is always releasing moisture, plus any moisture that makes its ...

It is hard to tell what is going on with the floor. Is there anything on top of the floor right now?
In modular flooring you must have a gap for two reasons - The 1st being expansion and contraction tolerance and the 2nd is to allow the sub- floor to breath.
The gaps seem bigger than usual in the photos? as almost if it were being pulled to maxinum contraction. The entire floor needs to be...

I am not sure how the stairs are installed? but you can go either way. If you choose to remove the stairs and set them back on top of the floor, I would make sure you do not adhere them to the floor...as the floor must be able to move for expansion.
Thanks

New here, have a Racedeck question
I purchased my house about 9 months ago, and am finally getting around to updating my garage. It's a slim garage measuring about 10 ft wide and 24 ft long, however it has an aggressive pitch towards a center drain.
Do I need to level the floor before installing racedeck (or any brand) ...

I'm no expert, but because epoxy and concrete are, chemically, completely different, I don't think you'll be able to use a stain to color match. I think your only shot at a consistent look will be covering the floor entirely; tile or paint. Although there's a guy on here that swears buy this epoxy/quartz slurry stuff.

I have poured some paint thinner over an oil stain, let it soak in for a few minutes then spread kitty litter over the wet area, ground it in with my shoe and swept it up. 99% gone.

Pay up and get an industrial epoxy slurry. You'll do it once and be done with it. It's more expensive and you may need to hunt for a quality firm who will do it properly and reasonably. I used www.cmscmr.com here in Milw., Wi. Click on CMS and flooring systems. Indestructible and much better than any paint on. Worth every penny.
