Moisture Comes First at Three Feet

Epoxy flooring in Franklin Park starts with one number: about 3 feet. That is the elevation Wikipedia lists for this small community of 1,025 residents in central Broward County, named for Morris Franklin. On ground that low, groundwater sits close under every slab. It is the single biggest factor in whether a garage or patio coating lasts here, so moisture testing is never optional.

How we handle a damp slab

Our process on low ground goes like this:

Test the slab's moisture before we price anything.
Grind to open the surface so vapor can be managed, not trapped under a skin.
Prime with a moisture-mitigating epoxy when readings are high.
Advise honestly if a slab is too wet, or needs drainage fixed first.

That sequence costs a little more on damp slabs, but it is far cheaper than redoing a floor that has lifted.

A young neighborhood

The 2020 median age was 31.5, and 31.6% of residents were under 18. Garages and carports here see bikes, toys and sports gear. Flake under a polyaspartic topcoat hides scuffs, cleans fast and gives grip when kids run in wet from the yard.

A tiny footprint

Franklin Park covers about 0.13 square miles, with 397 housing units in 2020. Lots are compact, so many homes rely on a carport or an open slab rather than a full garage. Those open slabs need a UV-stable topcoat, because plain epoxy yellows in the sun.

Broward's rain peaks from June through September, when monthly totals run from about 6.9 to 8.6 inches. On ground this low, we schedule outdoor coats for dry windows and check dew point and slab temperature right before each one.

Franklin Park Questions

Is my Franklin Park slab too wet for epoxy?

We find out with a moisture test before quoting. Many damp slabs can be coated with a moisture-mitigating primer. If readings are too high, we will tell you, and explain what would need to change first.

Why do coatings peel on low ground?

Moisture vapor rising through the slab builds pressure under the coating. Without testing and the right primer, that pressure can lift the floor within months.

What is a good floor for a carport here?

Flake broadcast under a UV-stable topcoat, with some grit added. That combination handles sun, rain and daily use, and stays steady when wet.

Does it cost more to coat a damp slab?

Usually a bit, because of the moisture-mitigating primer. Your written estimate shows that line separately so you can see why.
