As for the drain, there are a couple problems i plan on by passing. My house isnt hooked up to the sewer system, we have it drain under ground in backyard so it is a little hard. Since we have to take up the whole thing anyway we are just going to put a drain that goes directly behind the garage. This is illegal but we can just tell the inspector that we dont like water collecting on the floor. Theres gotta be a way around it. |
If you do epoxy, I can't stress enough how important the first step of stripping/cleaning the floor prior to application is. If you don't do it properly, the epoxy will peel up. Usually, the only time I've seen a problem in the 7 garage my father and I have done is when the concrete was sealed already. If it is, the acid cleaner won't do enough. You will have to purchase some concrete etch to remove most/all the sealant, then use the acid cleaner, then apply.
As for the drain, yes, the EPA sucks sometimes, but now with my floor epoxied and smooth, I just spray with a hose or PW and use a 24" squeegee to wipe dry.
