Challenges
Black Bear needed to accommodate a busy, multi-level kitchen servicing the entire facility. With moisture and seepage the primary concern, it needed to be addressed before new flooring was installed.

Black Bear's Solution

Black Bear value engineered a solution with two main components – water proofing and new commercial flooring. Black Bear installed a waterproof membrane in addition to a moisture mitigation primer before laying the cementitious materials with a urethane mortar which added another layer of protection. The extra layer of water proofing in the base of the concrete provided the reassurance the client required to eliminate leakage and avoid costly repairs. The new industrial epoxy flooring offered the durability and ease of maintenance needed in the large commercial kitchen.
