Concrete floors are also hard, which isn’t always ideal for children and pets. What’s more, these floors are susceptible to cracking, and repairs can be costly. Some homeowners might not like that installation isn’t DIY-friendly. </p></div>

What is an acceptable moisture level in concrete?

• <div><p>The actual moisture level that is acceptable for your concrete floor depends on what primer or flooring material you plan to install above it. For this reason, you should check the manufacturer’s instructions for the exact details.</p><p>Generally, the moisture levels should be 3.5% to 4.5%, although it does vary. Some products can handle higher levels of moisture, so you should always test your concrete before purchasing your flooring materials.</p></div>

Q: What can happen to my garage floor if it isn’t protected?

• <div><p>It takes time for damage to accumulate on garage floors. After years without maintenance, they will show cracks, stains, and moisture damage while collecting layers of dust along the surface.</p></div>

Q: What kind of paint do you use on a garage floor?

• <div><p>Most garage floor paints are epoxy-based and available in DIY kits. One-part epoxies are simpler to apply than two-part epoxies, which have a more involved process. Sometimes, people also use latex-based paint because it&rsquo;s easier to clean up mistakes with soap and water. Either way, make sure your paint is specifically designed for concrete garage floors. It should say so on the label.</p></div>

They explained what they were going to do and gave us tips to care for our cat’s coat at home. They even found a sore on her neck that our veterinarian missed just a few days before. (so I will be taking my cat to a different veterinarian to look at the sore.) I would highly recommend.
