Subfloor failure remains the primary cause of modern finish floor degradation across commercial facilities and high-density builds. Surface laitance, unaddressed hydrostatic moisture pressure, and unmitigated substrate variance systematically cause delamination in high-build epoxy, polyaspartic coatings, and sensitive LVP overlays.
At AK Level & Polish, we execute specialized concrete restoration, mechanical profiling, hydraulic leveling, and high-performance resin installations across Toronto, the GTA, and Southern Ontario. We bridge the structural gap between Division 3 slab placement and Division 9 interior finishes.

Technical Specification Matrix
| Engineering Scope | Standard / Surface Profile | Primary Operational Value | Typical Turnaround Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enclosed Shot Blasting | ICRI CSP 3–5 | Removes surface laitance and opens capillaries for thick urethane mortars and heavy industrial overlays. | Immediate overlay readiness |
| Planetary Diamond Grinding | ICRI CSP 1–3 | Strips legacy adhesives, sealers, and paints while correcting minor slab flatness variances. | Immediate overlay readiness |
| Moisture Vapor Mitigation | ASTM F2170 / ASTM F3010 | Suppresses Relative Humidity (RH) up to 100% to prevent vapor-drive delamination. | 12–16 hrs initial cure |
| Self-Leveling Underlayment | Continuous Mechanical Pump | Restores strict FF/FL tolerances over wide-acreage substrates prior to finish floor installation. | 2–4 hrs (Foot traffic) 24 hrs (Finish flooring) |
| Urethane Cement Mortars | 3/16″ to 3/8″ Trowel Grade | Provides extreme thermal shock, chemical, and heavy impact resistance for commercial processing zones. | 6–12 hrs (Full chemical cure) |
Subcontractor Execution Capabilities
- Closed-Loop Dust Extraction: Heavy-duty planetary grinders and shot blasters integrate directly with OSHA-compliant, multi-stage HEPA filtration units to maintain zero airborne respirable crystalline silica exposure on active job sites.
- Off-Hours & Multi-Shift Mobilization: Off-peak, night, and weekend deployment capabilities to work around active trade schedules and eliminate operational downtime for commercial tenants.
- Architectural Submittal Support: Rapid deployment of ASTM F2170 in-situ RH test reporting, technical data sheets (TDS), safety data sheets (SDS), and custom physical mockups for project engineering sign-off.
