Shot Blasting and Concrete Prep Services

We provide a wide variety of commercial concrete surface preparation services including:

Shot Blasting

Shot Blasting is a dust free method of removing contaminants such as carpet glues, tile glues, mortar beds and profiling the concrete to accept new coatings or other types of floor covering materials. In order for a new coating or overlay to bond properly, the concrete must be clean and have a surface the consistency of 80 grit sandpaper. Shot blasting is the most widely recognized and accepted method for concrete preparation in the industry.

Diamond Grinding

Diamond grinding is a great alternative to shot blasting when a coating needs to be scuffed or removed prior to new coating application without damaging the top layer of concrete. Diamond grinding is also a great method of glue and mortar bed removal. Various levels of profile can be achieved with the use of more coarse or fine diamond tooling. Universal Concrete has both Planetary and Gear Driven type grinding equipment available for your application.

Floor Covering Removal

We can remove several thousand square feet of floor coverings a day, which keeps you on schedule, and saves both time and money over manual removal options.
