Epoxy Flooring in Campbell, OH

Epoxy flooring in Campbell fits a town with a long relationship with concrete. After a 1916 strike at the East Youngstown mill turned into a riot that burned most of the business district, the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company built townhouses for its workers. Wikipedia describes those company homes as the first prefabricated concrete home development in the world. Concrete has been part of Campbell's housing since early in its history, and a lot of that concrete has now been in service for generations.

A city built before 1930

Campbell reached its peak population of 14,673 in 1930. The town was known as East Youngstown until 1926, when it was renamed for company president James Anson Campbell. Most of the homes that housed the mill workforce went up in those first decades. By 2020 the city had 7,852 residents and 3,787 housing units. Older housing means older basement floors, and those are the floors we are called about most here.

Basements first

A basement in an older Campbell house usually has a few things in common. The slab is thin by modern standards. There is no vapor barrier underneath. Someone has painted it at least once, and the paint has lifted near the walls. There may be a floor drain, a sump, or a patch where an old furnace or tank used to sit.

Our process for these basements:

• Moisture test at the estimate, so the system matches the slab.
• Grind to remove paint, sealer and surface dirt.
• Repair cracks, old patches and holes left by removed equipment.
• Prime with a moisture-tolerant primer when the reading calls for it.
• Coat with solid color, flake or metallic epoxy, depending on how you use the room.

Garages and parking pads

Many Campbell homes have small detached garages or simple parking slabs. Salt, freeze and thaw do the most damage at the front edge, where slush melts off the car. A flake floor with a clear topcoat seals that surface and adds grip. If the slab has open cracks or spalled corners, we repair those first.

Keeping a long-held home in shape

The steel era ended for Campbell on September 19, 1977, when Sheet and Tube closed the Campbell Works and furloughed 5,000 workers. Many families stayed and kept their homes. When those owners call us, they usually want a floor that is cleaner, brighter and easier to keep up, at a sensible price. We give a written quote with every step so you can choose the system that fits.

Making a small space work harder

In a compact Campbell home, the basement is often where laundry, storage and a workbench all share one room. A sealed floor makes that easier. It does not shed concrete dust onto stored items, it wipes clean after a spill, and a light color brightens a space that may only have a couple of bulbs. We can also coat just the laundry and utility area if that is all you need.

Cure times you can plan around

Standard epoxy takes longer to cure than polyaspartic. If your garage or basement is in daily use, ask about a fast-cure system. We write down when you can walk on the floor, move items back and park, so you can plan the week.
