Hi Fofa41.444877, did you ever resolve your issue.

Hi, We have a very similar problem. It’s been 6 months and we still have the odors, we had the 2 coatings finally removed about 5 weeks ago by a different vendor. The original contractor finally admitted that they added Xylene and we believe its gotten into the concrete. How many times did...

Hi, We have had the same problem for the last 6 months, can we talk about this, we are finding a lot of folks are having this issue. We found out they used Xylene. My cell is 770 313 3275. Thanks, Iris

Hi Stethanol, Did you ever resolve your issue. We have a very similar problem for the last 6 months, did you use Granite Garage Floor for the install? https://granitegaragefloors.com/

Thank you but the bigger issue is the TVOC readings are way beyond normal after placing a 2x2’ sheet of plastic and leaving for 24 hours. Then slipping a meter under the plastic and the meter stops reading at TVOC = 9.999. The fumes are very strong unless I ventilate the garage 24/7 with 3...

Hi Scottie, Thank you for the info. Any advice on fixing the odor without removing the coatings? Iris

All, I placed a 2x2’ plastic on the garage floor and taped it off for 24 hours. I then placed the VOC meter inside and I watched it go crazy. It read HCOC = 1.741 and TOTAL VOCs stopped recording when it hit 9.999. This is crazy. I tested this 3 times for accuracy and all high readings...

Thank you so much for your help.

My contractor insists there is nothing wrong with the floor. He claims the installation was done by experienced installers. I can’t prove otherwise other than high VOC readings. Today, Jan 5th, I closed the garage down for 8 hours and no cars in the garage. HCOC = .632 TVOC = 3.379...

On Oct 24 & 25th, I had a garage flooring installed. It was Epoxy base coat - National Polymer Inc 181 and top coat Polyaspartic - Versatile 5085. The garage has lingering odors from what other installers have described as epoxy that is still out gassing. The floor appears structurally sound -...

I am so sorry for your experience. My contractor has contacted a restoration company to run an ozone machine for awhile. Did you ever try one?

I think racedeck would be my next choice.

by pulling the garage floor, I meant grinding down the new floor to the original cement. After speaking with 2 other garage flooring people, they have said it is the base coat of industrial grade epoxy not the polyaspartic topcoat.
