    Put plastic sheet below the cement before pouring. Both on foundations and floors. Use a sulphate resistant type 5 cement. In freezing environments specify air entrained concrete to prevent spalling of surface. In tropical areas have redimix add fillers to build waterproofing into the cement. Keep fresh concrete damp for 15 to 30 days after a pour.

    Hey, thanks for sharing so much beneficial information!
    I just get the wall which kitchen cabinets are going to be applied on tiled and grouted. The tiler did just wait for 10 minutes after tiling and then grouted immediately. I learned out that tile adhesive needs 24 hours for walls and 48 hours for ground to dry. I've read that applying the grouting too soon might cause efflorescence. But at the same time efflorescence examples I saw are either outdoor areas or bathrooms, never seen a kitchen wall with that issue on the internet. The tiler said "trust me, there won't be any problem" but I do not trust him at all after all. Should I be expecting any problems? Perhaps I need to apply sealant?

    • @laticrete
      @laticrete  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thanks for the question. The result can go either way. On one hand there may not be an issue that arise. On the other and more common, grouting too soon can yield a number of issues including: Breaking the bond of the thinset to the tiles, Color or shading issues, weak or soft grout, minor cracks in the grout, and yes even efflorescence if soluble salts are present in the mortar/grout.
      We always recommend following the written instruction of the adhesive to see how much time has to pass prior to grouting.
      Typically a 24hour time frame is suggested but this can be shortened down to around 4 hours if using a rapid setting product.

    Good information. However, does efflorescence cause structural damage? Would this cause damage to a subterranean parking structure?

    One foundation wall of our house is on a downslope that has been permeated by water for many years. Want to avoid digging up the front yard to reseal the outside portion of the wall. If we thoroughly scrub the inside wall, is there a recommended treatment paint that will reduce or contain the efflorescence? Can such paint be coloured?

    • @laticrete
      @laticrete  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      We do not sell a product for this purpose. You'd have to do some research to see what paints are available for this. Possibly DRYLOK may have something that can help you.

    Just removed laminate flooring that was installed 15 years ago on top of my stained concrete floors. Found major efflorescense - hand sanded it off and also used white pad with floor sander. A few days later it's already coming back. What do you suggest to remove it with?

    • @laticrete
      @laticrete  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Todd. Thank you for watching. You can try and seal the concrete, but unfortunately as long as there are soluble salts within that slab being driven up by moisture, it'll keep happening until it runs out. Sealing the concrete may mitigate the issue, but it probably won't stop it completely. You can also try to mitigate the moisture to figure out where it's coming from. Hope this helps!
