Epoxy Flooring in West Point, UT

Epoxy flooring in West Point starts with where the town sits. West Point lies along the eastern shoreline of the Great Salt Lake, with wetlands along its western edge that migrating birds depend on. Settled in March 1867 and known as South Hooper and Muskrat Springs before it incorporated in 1935, it stayed small for a century. Today it is a city of 10,963 (2020), and Wikipedia credits most of its growth to new single-family homes.

Moisture is the first thing we check

Low, flat ground near a lake and wetlands is a reason to test every slab before we coat it. We do not assume a problem. We measure. Concrete that holds moisture can push it up against a coating and cause bubbles or peeling. On a garage floor we check several spots. On a basement floor we test more closely, since it sits below grade. If the readings are high, we use a moisture-tolerant primer or tell you the floor is not ready.

Garages built for big households

The 2000 census counted an average household size of 3.67 people in West Point, high even for Utah. In 2020, 48.5% of households had children and 75.5% were married couples. Those families fill garages with:

• Trucks, trailers and side-by-sides
• Bikes, strollers and sports gear
• Chest freezers and pantry shelves
• Hobby benches and tool chests

A flake floor with a tough topcoat stands up to that kind of traffic. It hides dust from the fields and rinses clean when mud comes in on boots and tires.

Shops and outbuildings

West Point still has larger lots, and many owners have a detached shop or pole building. Those floors see heavier loads: tractors, trailer jacks, engine stands and spilled fuel. We use thicker shop coatings that resist chemicals and impact, with a textured finish for footing when the floor is wet. If the slab is older or was poured thin, we look at it closely before we recommend a system.

Room still to grow

The city's annexation policy plan covers an unincorporated area in the northwest corner of Davis County, so more homes may come. New construction slabs need curing time before a coating goes on. If you just moved into a new West Point house, ask us how long to wait. We can test the slab and give you a date.

Keeping a coated floor clean near the fields

Spring and fall bring dust and mud in from nearby fields and dirt roads. A coated floor makes this easy. Sweep or blow out loose dirt so it does not get ground in under tires. Mop with warm water and a mild cleaner when mud dries on the surface. In winter, squeegee meltwater out the door instead of letting it sit. Skip harsh acid cleaners. They are not needed on a sealed floor and can dull the topcoat over time.
