How Basement Floor Coatings Solve Moisture Problems

For clients seeking faster turnaround, we also offer polyaspartic and polyurea garage floor coating systems. Polyaspartic cures significantly faster than standard epoxy, meaning your garage is back in use within hours instead of days. Polyurea coatings add extra flexibility and UV stability, making them an excellent choice for spaces with direct sun exposure.


For those who want more than just a functional surface, we offer several decorative options. Color flake systems add texture and visual depth while effectively concealing minor surface imperfections. For an even more distinctive look, metallic concrete floors use a unique pigment blend that creates a fluid, reflective finish — ensuring no two installations ever look exactly alike.

How Basement Floor Coatings Solve Moisture Problems
ALTRUS provides a comprehensive range of professional floor coating solutions for commercial, industrial, and municipal facilities throughout Northern Illinois.

An uncoated basement floor in Willowbrook is a moisture problem waiting to surface. Hydrostatic pressure slowly but consistently pushes moisture up through the slab, creating the perfect conditions for mold, musty odors, and surface deterioration. Epoxy basement floor systems interrupt that cycle by forming a barrier over the concrete that moisture simply cannot penetrate.


ALTRUS installs epoxy basement floor coatings in spaces ranging from basic storage areas to finished home gyms and recreation rooms. The process starts with testing the concrete's moisture content, since applying a coating over a slab that's too wet leads to adhesion failure. Once moisture levels fall within an acceptable range, we apply a primer coat followed by the finish system — producing a surface that's cleanable, durable, and far more attractive than bare concrete.


For basements with persistent moisture issues, a polyurea coating may be the stronger choice. More flexible than standard epoxy, polyurea handles slab movement and minor shifts without cracking, and it withstands higher moisture vapor emissions — delivering better long-term performance in conditions where standard epoxy may eventually delaminate.
