Where the River Meets the Bay

Epoxy flooring in Gibsonton starts with the water. The community sits at about 10 feet above sea level where the Alafia River empties into Hillsborough Bay, and Wikipedia lists 2.63 of its 15.44 square miles as water. During Hurricane Helene in 2024, a USGS gauge at Gibsonton recorded 7.21 feet above mean higher high water, per NWS data. Garages here need prep that accounts for salt, surge and damp ground.

Cleaning out the salt

After a surge, salt soaks into concrete and keeps pulling moisture. A coating laid over that will not last. We pressure wash, let the slab dry, then test both moisture and surface condition before priming. If the concrete is pitted or soft, we patch it first.

Storage for big equipment

Gibsonton has long been home to carnival and show people. The International Independent Showmen's Association has over 4,500 members here, and local zoning has allowed residents to keep circus trailers on their property. Storage buildings and shops that hold trailers, rides and heavy gear need a thick, chemical-resistant floor that can handle jacks, hydraulic fluid and grease.

Shop floors you can hose down

For a workshop or storage barn, we recommend a 100% solids epoxy base with grit in the topcoat. It stands up to dragged equipment and gives traction when wet. A darker flake hides grease and makes the space easier to keep looking clean.

Family garages too

Wikipedia notes that 42.8% of households include children. A family garage is well served by a full flake floor that hides dirt and stays grippy for kids. We recommend a polyaspartic topcoat for UV stability near the door.

Homes near the water

With the bay to the west and the river running through, many lots stay damp after rain. Every floor gets a moisture test. High readings mean a damp-slab primer, and we will tell you when water is coming in from a source that needs fixing first.

Gibsonton Questions

My garage took on surge water. Can you still coat it?

Usually. We clean out the salt, let the slab dry and test it. Pitted areas get repaired before we coat.

What floor works for storing trailers and heavy equipment?

A heavy 100% solids epoxy build under a gritty, chemical-resistant topcoat. Put pads under jacks for extra protection.

Will a coating keep flood water out?

No. It will not stop water, but it cleans up faster and resists staining far better than bare concrete.

How do you handle damp slabs near the bay?

We test moisture, and when the numbers call for it, a damp-tolerant primer goes on first.
