Floors Under Historic Houses

Epoxy flooring in Bellevue goes beneath some of the oldest homes we see. The borough has over 1,000 buildings more than 100 years old, and just over 730 of its roughly 2,600 buildings have been approved locally as historic. Over 150 property owners have bought historic plaques.

Basements from another era

Houses like the Andrew Bayne House of 1875 and the Marius Rousseau House of 1906 date from a time when basement floors were often thin, hand-finished or even partly dirt. Many have been patched over the years. Before coating, we check how sound the concrete is, grind off old paint and fill cracks. Some floors need a leveling layer first.

River-town humidity

Bellevue lies along the Ohio River at an average elevation of about 997 feet, and water makes up roughly 9% of its 1.12 square miles. Old basements without vapor barriers can feel damp most of the summer. We take moisture readings before choosing a primer, and we hold off on days when the concrete sits close to its dew point.

Small garages on tight lots

Bellevue is compact, and many garages are small or detached, built for cars of the past. A coated floor turns a dusty garage into a clean storage space or workshop. A light color brightens a small room.

Respecting the house

A basement floor coating does not change the outside of a historic home. If you are planning outdoor work, check local historic guidelines. Inside, we focus on making the old concrete sound and easy to keep clean.

Cleanup after damp seasons

Old basements with stone or block walls can let in a little moisture during wet months. A seamless floor coating does not seal walls, but it makes damp spots easy to see and mop, and it stops the slab surface from dusting. If the walls weep, we suggest sealing them before we coat.

Bellevue Questions

Can a 100-year-old basement floor be coated?

Often, yes, as long as the concrete is solid. We may need to level it and repair cracks first. Floors that are partly dirt or crumbling need new concrete before any coating.

Will a coating affect my home's historic status?

Interior basement floors are generally not part of historic exterior guidelines. Check with the borough if you are unsure.

How do you deal with a damp old basement?

We test first, and add a vapor-tolerant primer if the slab reads high. Water leaks should be fixed before coating.

Is it worth coating a small detached garage?

Many owners think so, especially to keep dust down and make storage easier. Smaller floors also cost less.
