Serving Cuyahoga Falls, OH · Summit County · ~28 miles from Canton
Basement Epoxy Flooring in Cuyahoga Falls, OH
Cuyahoga Falls homeowners understand the value of a properly maintained home — it's a city that takes pride in its neighborhoods, its proximity to Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and its thriving Silver Lake and Front Street communities. Canton Epoxy has served the Falls for years, bringing our workmanship-warranted epoxy systems to garages, basements, and commercial floors throughout the city. At 28 miles from our Canton location, we schedule Cuyahoga Falls projects efficiently, treating every Summit County customer with the professionalism they deserve.
The Cuyahoga River's proximity means that Cuyahoga Falls homes — particularly in lower-elevation neighborhoods near the Cascade and Front Street — experience elevated ground moisture that travels upward through concrete slabs. This is precisely why our pre-installation MVER testing is non-negotiable. We've caught elevated moisture levels in dozens of Cuyahoga Falls basements and garages that would have caused a lesser contractor's coating to fail within a year. Our moisture-mitigating primer system addresses these conditions before any topcoat is applied.
From Blossom area homes to Silver Lake-adjacent properties, Canton Epoxy is Cuyahoga Falls' most trusted epoxy flooring contractor. Call 330.330.9900 for a free, same-week estimate.

Key Features
Waterproof Barrier
Our 100% solids epoxy base coat creates a seamless, non-porous barrier that blocks moisture vapor transmission from below-grade concrete slabs — the root cause of basement mold and damp odors.
Mold & Mildew Resistant
Unlike carpet, wood, or vinyl, our cured epoxy surface offers zero porosity — no fibers, no seams, and no organic material for mold or mildew to feed on, even in high-humidity Northeast Ohio basements.
Moisture-Tested Installation
We perform ASTM F1869 calcium chloride tests and ASTM F2170 relative humidity probe readings on every basement job. If moisture exceeds safe thresholds, we apply a dedicated moisture-mitigation primer before coating.
Professional Diamond Grinding
We use professional-grade diamond grinders to open the concrete's pores and create the mechanical bond profile required for permanent adhesion — the same standard used on commercial projects.
Anti-Slip Options Available
Add a broadcast anti-slip aggregate to your topcoat for safety in wet areas, near utility sinks, or any space where moisture may be present. Ideal for home gyms and workshop areas.
Warm & Comfortable Surface
Our high-build coating systems add a finished layer that's noticeably smoother and less cold underfoot than bare concrete — making your basement comfortable enough to live in, not just store things in.
Comprehensive Site Assessment
Every basement job begins with a thorough site assessment — moisture readings, slab history, drainage context, and intended use — so we can quote an installation and a warranty that actually fit your specific basement's conditions, not a generic promise.

How It Works in Cuyahoga Falls
Our Installation Process
The same professional process we use on every Summit County project — no shortcuts.
Moisture Testing
We begin every basement installation with ASTM F1869 calcium chloride testing and ASTM F2170 relative humidity probe readings. This determines the true moisture profile of your slab and guides our product selection — including whether a moisture-mitigation primer is required.
Diamond Grinding & Surface Prep
We use professional-grade diamond grinders to mechanically profile the entire concrete surface. This opens the concrete's pores, removes laitance and weak surface material, and creates the surface anchor required for permanent coating adhesion.
Crack & Spall Repair
Cracks, control joint spalls, and pitting are filled with a semi-rigid polyurea or epoxy filler and allowed to cure before coating begins. A smooth, repaired substrate is essential for a uniform finished surface.
Moisture-Mitigation Primer (If Required)
If moisture testing indicates elevated vapor transmission or relative humidity, we apply a dedicated moisture-tolerant epoxy primer. This creates a vapor barrier at the slab surface and ensures the coating system bonds permanently regardless of below-grade conditions.
Base Coat Application
We apply a 100% solids epoxy base coat at the correct film thickness for basement applications. Decorative vinyl flakes — in your chosen color combination — are broadcast into the wet base coat to create the finished aesthetic and additional texture.
Topcoat & Cure
A clear polyaspartic or polyurethane topcoat is applied over the cured base coat. The topcoat provides UV stability, chemical resistance, and the final surface hardness. Anti-slip aggregate can be added to the topcoat at this stage. Light foot traffic is safe within 24 hours; full cure is complete in 5–7 days (or 24–48 hrs with a polyaspartic topcoat upgrade).
