Planning a Floor Around the River

Epoxy flooring in Arnold has to consider the Meramec River. According to Wikipedia, the river crested at a record 47.26 feet on December 31, 2015, topping the 1993 record and affecting more than 300 homes. A second crest of 45.62 feet followed on May 3, 2017. Arnold sits in Jefferson County at the meeting of the Meramec and the Mississippi, and for owners on low ground, a floor that cleans up fast after water is worth thinking about.

What to expect from a coating in a flood

No floor coating will keep a flood out. What a seamless coating can do is limit the damage:

Water and mud sit on top instead of soaking into bare concrete.
The floor can be pressure washed and disinfected.
There are no grout lines or seams for silt to settle into.
After drying, a sound coating usually needs only cleaning.

We always test the slab for moisture first, since floors that have flooded may hold water for a long time.

Homes away from the river

Not every property in Arnold is near the river. On higher ground, daily-use garages do well with chip flake under polyaspartic, which handles winter salt and hot tires. The 2020 census counted 8,847 housing units and a median age of 41.4.

Industrial floors

Metal Container Corp., an Anheuser-Busch InBev subsidiary, expanded its Arnold can plant in 2014, and Wikipedia describes the site as the country's largest can manufacturing facility. The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency office employs at least 900. Plant, warehouse and maintenance floors in Arnold need high-build, abrasion-resistant systems, chemical resistance where fluids are present, and safety striping.

Recreation and public spaces

The city's recreation center includes an indoor leisure pool and gym. Wet areas like these need slip-resistant textures and chemical-tolerant topcoats. We quote public and commercial work as well as homes.

Arnold Questions

My Arnold garage flooded in 2015. Can it be coated now?

Likely, yes. We test the slab's moisture first, check for damage or settling and repair before coating.

Will an epoxy floor survive another flood?

A well-bonded coating usually survives short-term flooding and cleans up well. Long-term water pushing up from below is harder on any floor, which is why moisture testing matters.

Do you coat plant and warehouse floors in Arnold?

Yes. We match the system to the traffic, fluids and temperatures in the space and add striping where needed.

Can you coat a floor that stays damp?

Sometimes, with a moisture-mitigating primer. If water is actively coming through, that has to be solved first.
