Livonia Subfloor Leveling Over Old Mastic
Mastic Encapsulation and Custom Hickory Hardwood
Bypassing hazardous mastic grinding with advanced chemical bonding primers and engineered underlayment.
Project Overview
The Blueprint: Prime, Pour, Perfect.
The Challenge
A concrete slab covered in old, stubborn mastic. Mechanically grinding this mastic off is hazardous, dusty, and incredibly time consuming.
The Solution
Instead of grinding, we engineered a smarter encapsulation method. We applied a highly specialized primer scientifically rated to bond directly to the existing mastic.
The Technology
Over the primed mastic, we poured an engineered self leveling underlayment. This permanently encapsulated the old adhesive and created a pristine slate for the new floor.
The Engineering Process
Chemical Bonding & Encapsulation.

Finished Floor
Leveling came first. With the old mastic primed and encapsulated under self leveling underlayment, the 8 inch engineered Michigan Plank hickory in Fireside went down over a new, sound base, and these photos show that finished floor.
This project was executed using our strict NWFA subfloor leveling tolerances.
