Comprehensive slab restoration using our Clean Slate chemistry. We clean, repair, and restore your concrete to solid condition — same-day, dust-controlled, and at a fraction of replacement cost.
What is Slab Restoration?
Slab restoration is the process of returning damaged, deteriorated, or contaminated concrete slabs to solid, functional condition — without demolishing and replacing them. Instead of jackhammers and dump trucks, we use chemistry.
ATR's approach addresses the root cause of concrete damage: surface contamination, moisture intrusion, failed coatings, and structural cracking. We clean the slab at a molecular level, repair the damage, and apply protective treatments that extend the slab's life by decades.
The result is a concrete surface that looks, performs, and tests like new — at 30–50% less than the cost of tearing out and repouring. Most projects finish in a single day.
The Clean Slate Chemistry
ATR's proprietary Clean Slate Process uses biodegradable chemistry that eliminates airborne silica dust — doing what grinders and shot blasters can't — restore concrete at the molecular level.
Biodegradable Formula
Our chemistry is non-toxic, non-caustic, and biodegradable. Safe for use around families, pets, and sensitive HVAC systems. The same products trusted by hospitals and senior care facilities.
No Dust, No Grinding
Mechanical grinding creates silica dust that infiltrates your entire home. Our chemical process eliminates dust entirely — protecting your lungs, your ductwork, and your furniture.
Deep Pore Penetration
The chemistry penetrates the concrete's pore structure, dissolving contaminants from the inside out. Grinders only scratch the surface. Our process restores the entire slab profile.
Rated for Occupied Spaces
Your family doesn't need to leave. Your business doesn't need to close. The Clean Slate process is formulated for use in occupied residential and commercial buildings.
When Slab Restoration Makes Sense
Not every slab needs to be replaced. Here are the signs that restoration is the right call.
Slab Restoration Applications
Garage Floors
Cracked, stained, or flaking garage slabs restored to solid, sealed condition without a full tear-out.
Basement Floors
Musty, moisture-damaged basement concrete cleaned, repaired, and sealed — no airborne silica dust, safe for occupied homes.
Industrial Floors
Warehouse, manufacturing, and distribution center floors restored while your facility stays open.
Commercial Spaces
Retail, office, and institutional concrete restored with zero downtime and no disruption to tenants.
Our 5-Step Restoration Process
Every slab restoration follows a proven sequence. No shortcuts, no guesswork.
Inspection & Assessment
We inspect the slab for cracks, spalling, delamination, staining, and moisture issues. You get a written assessment with photos and a clear scope of work.
Chemical Cleaning
The slab is treated with our biodegradable Clean Slate chemistry to dissolve oils, grease, old coatings, and surface contaminants without grinding or dust.
Crack & Joint Repair
Cracks, spalls, and failed joints are filled and sealed with flexible, structural repair materials matched to your slab’s movement profile.
Surface Profiling
The chemistry opens the pore structure of the concrete, creating the ideal surface profile for coatings, sealers, or simply a clean, solid finish.
Final Treatment & Protection
A protective sealer or coating is applied based on the slab’s use case — whether it’s a garage floor, basement, or commercial space. Walk on it the same day.
