What is the lifespan of concrete floors?

• <div><p>Concrete floors can last 50 to 75 years or more when properly sealed and maintained. Some concrete finishes, like polished concrete, will need to be refinished periodically—depending on the finish and foot traffic, you may need to refinish or reseal your concrete floors every five to 20 years. Keeping the concrete properly sealed will prevent damage and extend the lifespan of your concrete floors. </p></div>

Q: Can I use thinset mortar as a floor leveler?

• <div><p>While you shouldn&rsquo;t use thinset mortar on its own as a floor leveler, it can work alongside other products to help level floors. For instance, you could start with a self-leveling compound, let that dry, then apply backer board with thinset mortar to help fully even out the floors ahead of laying tile.</p></div>

Q: Does your concrete floor really need a professional moisture test?

• <div><p>You primarily need to be concerned about the moisture level in concrete when you are dealing with a basement or other below-ground part of your house. If you find any indication of moisture in your subterranean space, consider calling in a professional for further testing and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/control-humidity-your-home.htm">moisture control solutions</a>.</p></div>

Q: Do concrete driveways need sealing?

• <div><p>Yes, concrete driveways benefit from a driveway sealant. However, applying the wrong sealant to your concrete driveway can actually make it a safety hazard by turning the surface slippery if wet, so avoid epoxy or polyurethane sealers and go for an acrylic or a penetrating <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-products-should-i-use-seal-my-concrete-driveway.htm">concrete sealer</a> instead.</p></div>

Q: How do you whiten concrete?

• <div><p>You can whiten concrete for unsealed and unfinished concrete with a solution or either muriatic acid or bleach and water&mdash;but never both. However, if your concrete does have a stain, finish, or polish, keep in mind that these hard chemicals could damage the topcoat. Your best bet otherwise is to power wash outdoor concrete slabs or clean indoor ones with a gentle cleaner such as laundry or dish detergent.</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.
