Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our concrete grinding services in Lewisville, TX
How much concrete can be removed by grinding?
Grinding can typically remove 1/16 to 1/4 inch of concrete surface depending on the equipment and application. For deeper removal, we may combine grinding with other methods. We assess your specific needs and recommend the most appropriate approach for your project requirements.
Is concrete grinding dusty?
Modern grinding equipment includes advanced dust extraction systems that capture up to 99% of dust particles. We use HEPA-filtered vacuums and containment systems to minimize dust. For sensitive environments, we can use wet grinding methods that virtually eliminate airborne dust.
Can grinding damage concrete?
When performed by professionals, grinding does not damage concrete. It improves surface quality. We use proper diamond grit sizes and grinding pressures appropriate for your concrete type. Over-grinding or improper technique can cause issues, which is why professional expertise is essential.
How long does concrete grinding take?
Grinding time varies by project size, concrete condition, and removal depth. A typical residential garage might take 4-8 hours, while a commercial warehouse could take 1-3 days. We provide detailed timelines during project planning and work efficiently to minimize disruption.
Do you grind concrete indoors?
Yes, we perform indoor grinding with appropriate dust control and containment systems. We use HEPA-filtered vacuums, plastic barriers, and negative air pressure to contain dust. For sensitive environments, we offer wet grinding methods that eliminate airborne dust entirely.
What's the difference between grinding and polishing?
Grinding removes concrete surface material to level, prepare, or remove coatings. Polishing uses finer grits to create smooth, reflective surfaces. Grinding is typically a preparation step, while polishing is a finishing treatment. Both use diamond abrasives but serve different purposes.
