Concrete Has Pores Too!

Your concrete garage floor's sides and bottom and underground, and that means it will absorb moisture from the ground. And if you are worried about stains, don't be because they would be on the underside of the concrete. The problem though is that water always tries to find a way to evaporate, and that isn't very ideal. Do you recall that seal-like ability that the epoxy floor coating creates? This seal won't release water any sooner than it would let it in. And the moisture from the water around the concrete begins to make its own way to the top, the surface, it starts to pop up under the epoxy paint. Naturally, this creates bubbles that continue to collect more water until they burst, creating that peeling problem we were talking about before.
