I agree with Mike Marsoun, my only concern is the size and area
of the project.
On a larger project I would do exactly as he says, in here I
would
Equip my slow water fed grinder with a diamond BRUSH, grit 120
I would clean all the baseboards first
Then with 3 brushes under my floor polishing machine I would
really clean the surface, the brushes are actually grinding a film so you
should be left with a pretty new looking floor.
Let it dry
Apply ES-82 from Fila, is my preference. Most products if you
follow its life line have evolved from a mother company, like Fila. Fila
has been around for 65 years or so. I have had the pleasure of using this
efflorescence inhibitor since the early 90’s and it has never given me a
problem.
Finish with a color enhancer on the floor and your set
This work should not take more than 6 to 8 hours to do judging
by what I can see.
My only concern is the stripping part, if you have coating you
may want to try to remove as much of that as you can, the diamond brushes act
exactly as a resin bond diamond would, I will glide on a coating.

If you can remove all the loose material (pressure extractor)
and use a consolidant like ProSoco 40SK (which is not for floors) Dry
Treat has a similar product (ethyl silicate) which you can use on floors. This
will re bind the minerals. I have used it on really bad slate and it works
fine. Then you can tell them you have done all you can.

there is not a
lot you can do..just be sure you tell the customer that this is a problem and
the moisture source must be found. Chances are the stone will need to be
replaced.

Hi,
We
have been asked to strip, clean and seal an old residential interior slate
floor. We have done this kind of thing before and it appears somewhat straight
forward assuming we can test to figure out what gets the gook off the best.
Problem is that there is water damage around the edges that has created
delamination on some of the stones. How do you all deal with this kind of
issue? I have warned the owners that this problem may not go away if
there is constant water migration underneath the stone. Hard to say if
this is recurring thing. it looks like the wood floor in the next room
are warped from a flood of some kind, but at least part of the floor is
adjacent to an exterior wall. It is sort of a sun room. I posted
some pix.
Thanks
for any advice.
Baird
