4) Vacuum & Inspection

Once grinding is complete, the surface is thoroughly vacuumed and inspected before any coating or system is introduced. This step confirms that the slab has been prepared correctly and that no hidden issues remain.

We use high efficiency dust extraction to remove fine concrete particles from the surface and surrounding areas. Residual dust interferes with adhesion, so the slab must be clean enough to accurately evaluate the profile and surface condition.

After vacuuming, the surface is inspected to verify that the concrete has been ground to the correct profile for the specified system. This includes checking consistency across open areas, edges, and transitions to ensure uniform preparation.

Moisture considerations are reviewed at this stage as well. Grinding can expose areas of the slab where moisture behavior becomes more visible. Identifying these conditions before coatings are applied allows adjustments to be made without compromising the system.

This inspection step is the final checkpoint. It confirms that the slab is ready to receive the system it was prepared for and that surface preparation has been completed correctly.

Grinding done right happens before coatings ever touch the floor.
