Whether you need a drain for your bathroom or for other industrial purposes, slope flooring is not something you do yourself even if some articles claim otherwise. You would need professional to help to measure the slope and do the sloping itself if you want to have it done neatly and hassle-free.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As an expert in floorings and coatings across Fresno<\/a>,\u00a0Central and Northern California, sloping your floors is one of the services we can offer to you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Not every room in your house requires a slope. In fact, you don’t need this in your living room and your bedrooms or in any dry room. Slope flooring is highly recommended for rooms that often have water flowing like bathrooms, garages, and gardens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n A sloped floor’s main purpose is to make it easier for the water to drain. A slight slope does a lot of help in ensuring that puddles of water won’t form everywhere. This is important because puddles of water can cause accidents or can be a breeding place for insects and other diseases.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> Even if our professionals will handle all the dirty work, we still want to let you in on how we do sloping.<\/p>\n Before doing major repairs on your rooms, we will assess where a drain is best placed. Yes, most drains are in a corner, but which corner? Also, we take into account the kind of flooring you already have. This isn’t as easy as just drilling a hole onto your floor and installing a drain<\/a>.<\/p>\n When we already know where to put the drain, we can now measure how steep the slope should be. The measurement varies depending on how far a certain point is from the drain. The farther a point is from the drain, the steeper it should be so the water easily trickles all the way down to the drain.<\/p>\n Now that we already know how the floor sloping process will go and what the slope is, it’s time to remove your existing floor. When we’re done with this, we will add a waterproof layer<\/a> to make sure that no water will seep right through it. This also stops moisture from building up.<\/p>\n<\/div>What Is Slope Flooring For?<\/h2>\n
