Flood-proof Flooring
Old technology floorings, including carpeting, vinyl tile, linoleum, and wood,
are subject to such severe contamination and damage that, after flooding, they
are essentially unrecoverable. Carpeting and wood often harbor health-damaging
bacteria, mold, and mildew after being flooded. Sewer, petroleum, and many types
of organic matter brought into living spaces by floodwaters all need to be
neutralized and removed.
The costs of flood remediation often include the labor expenses of removal,
hauling and landfill expenses, as well as contamination cleanup and replacement
costs.
Such flood risks can be substantially reduced with the selection of new
technology flooring and wall coverings using water proof, mold, and mildew
resistant materials like epoxy coatings. These coatings have been used
successfully in swimming pools, laundries, warehouses, garages, and various
types of shops for decades. Now they are being used increasingly in living
spaces.
Flooded epoxy floors can be pressure washed and scrubbed back into service in
minutes. Mold, bacteria, and contaminants can be rinsed off, with floors ready
for occupancy within hours. These flooring surfaces are class III laboratory
qualified, meaning the surfaces are impervious to penetration by liquid-born
contaminants. Even diesel, gas, and oil will not penetrate them and can be
washed or wiped up.
It is not just floors within flood
plains or hurricane areas that are at risk from flooding. Plumbing problems,
from overflowing bathtub or laundry and kitchen appliances, can create the same
damage as natural disasters. Sewage and other contaminants need to be removed;
warped and shrunken surfaces have to be repaired or replaced.
New designs in homes offer beautiful flood-proof epoxy coated flooring from wall
to wall, often including coated vertical surfaces to help further contain flood
waters. Area rugs create an elegant look on top of these easy-to-maintain
surfaces.
The beauty of epoxy flooring can be enhanced and personalized by using colors.
Colored chips, glitter, decorative stains, and artwork and decals can be
laminated into these attractive floors. Epoxy flooring is a solid choice when
rebuilding or remediating flood-prone properties or living spaces.
