Let’s be honest here: parking lots get a lot of traffic, and when we say that we’re not trying to make a pun, it’s the truth. One of the most interesting things about a parking lot is that you would be hard pressed to control the type of traffic that comes in and out. One day you could be dealing with small cars, the next, trucks, and the worst part is you can’t control the condition of the cars.
Your floors are eventually going to reap the ‘benefits’ of every single mechanical problem that your visiting cars have, and these problems aren’t few. Oil leaks, for example, are a common problem with any car and this can easily contribute to the not so gradual degradation of your concrete floor. As we have said many times before, concrete is a porous material, and the more liquid that seeps into it, the bigger the problems you will have. Something important to remember, is that while liquids like oil and antifreeze might not cause immediate structural problems other corrosive fluids from vehicles or run off from vehicles can cause severe pitting down to the rebar. Once this corrosion gets to your rebar, you have some serious issues to worry about.
Remember, concrete is not invincible, despite initial appearances. If you want to avoid these problems, we would strongly suggest taking a look at our epoxy coating systems.
