Grind and Seal Concrete Floors Atlanta Georgia

Concrete grinding and sealing project for high moisture cement slab by AAA Southern.

Balfour Beatty Construction Atlanta Division retained AAA Southern to complete 36,000-square-foot commercial flooring project for apartments.

Project Summary: Polished Concrete Grinding & Sealing for Floors

Concrete Contractor: Southern States Refinishing
Property Type:
 Twelve (12) apartment buildings
Project Size: 36,000 SF
Scope of Project: Diamond grind and seal concrete floors with pigmented sealer


Problem: High moisture in slab foundation. Each floor looked extremely wet even after using a squeegee. Contractor set up large fans to dry the concrete for each phase of the project. The original plan was to grind floor with 70-grit diamond blades. However, due to paint and construction adhesives on the floor, AAA Southern needed to use a course 30-grit ceramic grinding blade to remove blemishes and prep the surface.

Solution: AAA Southern sealed concrete floors in phases over 2 months. They worked on sealing 3,000 SF of concrete flooring at a time. The team repaired cracks and sealed with H & C colored breathable sealer. This moisture vapor barrier product solved the moisture issue and allowed moisture vapor to pass through the sealer.

Products: Sherwin Williams H & C Solid Color Concrete sealer. It is a solvent-based, deep-penetrating concrete floor and wall sealer.
