Cement Based Floor Leveling Compounds

Concrete Repair Self Leveling Floor Underlayments:
We Want To Level With You!
With the proliferation of "self leveling" underlayment manufacturing in recent years, it is no wonder that we are receiving more calls than ever for technical advice from contractors who decided to try leveling on their own, only to wind up with disastrous results. While some project installations are within the reach of some contractors, most jobs over about 150 square feet are a different matter altogether.

The very chemical composition of self leveling underlayments, which make them strong and durable, also make them very difficult to install.  The product cures quickly, primarily due to the catalyst drying technology which limits the initial working time of our products to about seven minutes. Added to the problem is the unenviable position of some underlayment manufacturers need to sell their product based on "ease of installation."

While some companies are very good with regard to product performance (Prospec being one) and technical support, many of the newcomers have a surprising lack of knowledge about their own product. Covalt Floor Leveling & concrete repair of Southern California has been a leader in this very specialized field for over 28 years.

Concrete Foundation Repair - Protect Your Investment

concrete repairing of foundation slabs & subfloors...

Concrete repair, steel reinforced in-fill, and self leveling underlayment and topping systems are ideal for the repair of damaged foundation slabs and subfloors. This concrete repair technique is accomplished through the utilization of a high strength, self leveling cement topping that is applied to the uneven substrate.

This floor leveling technique provides a strong, flat and level foundation for new flooring, such as hardwood, tile, laminate flooring or carpet. Concrete repair by way of the underlayment system avoids the unnecessary expense of complete slab removal and replacement, saving time and money for our clients.

Concrete resurfacing with Covalt topping systems penetrate through the open capillary allowing for a complete seal. These renowned types of self leveling products are superior to any other subfloor repair system. Often saving thousands of dollars for builders and homeowners alike, the foundation floor repair is accomplished in a fraction of the amount of time compared to other floor replacement methods.

The End Result Is What Matters

Remodeled Gym Floor  - Proper Preparation Guarantees The Best End Result...
Warping, splitting and deteriorating gym floor. Originally built in 1973, this gym floor was in need of a full replacement.

But as work began, the contractor discovered the concrete sub floor was not level. Construction also revealed water damage in isolated areas. To install the new gym floor over this damaged subfloor, without proper floor leveling, surely would result in failure at some point.

So of course there was no other option but to level the concrete slab, with a cement based floor leveling underlayment compound. This type of concrete resurfacing system provides a smooth, flat and hard surface, and ensures the proper function of any type of flooring. What fantastic results on this project!
