Is Waterproofing Membrane Removal Required Before I Install A New Coating Or Flooring System?

Yes, waterproofing membrane removal should always occur before the installation of a new coating or flooring system. The appropriate Floor Preparation before installing the new coating or flooring system is also required.

To install a new coating or flooring system, you must ensure the following:
1) The previous waterproofing membrane has been removed
2) All residue from the previous waterproofing membrane has been removed
3) The appropriate floor preparation has been applied
– Concrete Cancer Repairs
– Concrete Crack Repairs
– Concrete Grinding
– Floor Levelling

It is always a MUST that you ensure the above has been completed, to ensure that you get your warranty and to ensure that your new coating or flooring system does not fail. Contractors and companies have the right not to provide you with any warranty on the project if you fail to follow the floor preparation rules.
