Epoxy Flooring: The Best Defense Against Moisture

In Spokane, moisture is a constant threat to concrete floors. Heavy rainfall, snowmelt, and fluctuating temperatures create the perfect conditions for peeling coatings, cracks, and mold growth. If your garage, basement, or commercial space isn’t properly sealed, moisture will find a way in—leading to costly damage and endless maintenance headaches. The best defense against moisture is to stop the damage before it starts? Cue epoxy flooring from Garage Floor Coating Inland NW. Here are the three biggest reasons why epoxy flooring is the ultimate moisture solution for homes and businesses in the region.

1. Blocks Moisture Before It Causes Damage

• Concrete is naturally porous, meaning water from rain, snow, and humidity seeps in, causing cracks and stains.
• Epoxy flooring creates a moisture-resistant barrier, preventing water from pushing through the surface and damaging the floor.
• One-day polyaspartic coatings lack an epoxy base, allowing moisture to break the bond over time, leading to peeling and bubbling.

2. Stops Peeling, Bubbling, and Mold Growth

• Moisture trapped in concrete leads to mold and mildew, especially in basements and high-humidity areas.
• Epoxy bonds deeply with the concrete, ensuring long-lasting adhesion that won’t peel or lift.
• A polyaspartic topcoat enhances durability, protecting against scratches, spills, and heavy foot or vehicle traffic.

3. Built to Withstand Inland NW’s Harsh Climate

• Freeze-thaw cycles put stress on unsealed concrete, causing it to crack and deteriorate.
• Epoxy flooring flexes with temperature changes, preventing seasonal expansion and contraction damage.
• Unlike standard floor paints or DIY sealers, epoxy-polyaspartic coatings offer long-term moisture protection, keeping floors in homes, garages, and commercial spaces strong and durable.
