Prepare and Seal the Floor

What happens here

Begin by thoroughly sweeping and cleaning the concrete slab to remove all dust, debris, and contaminants. This ensures proper adhesion of the primer and self-leveling compound. Next, identify and seal any gaps, cracks, or openings in the floor or around door frames and perimeters. For smaller gaps, use caulk; for larger openings, use spray foam. This crucial step prevents the highly fluid self-leveling compound from leaking out during application, ensuring it remains contained within the desired area and achieves the intended level surface.

Goal: Ensure a clean, sealed, and contained area for self-leveling compound application.
