Sometimes patching just isn't enough. When a floor has been beaten down by years of heavy traffic, aggressive washdowns, and chemical exposure, there comes a point where the only real solution is a full replacement. This poultry processing washdown area was past that point.
Before
The existing floor was in bad shape — delaminated, cracked, and holding standing water. In a poultry washdown area, that's not just an aesthetic problem. Standing water creates bacterial harborage points, makes the floor slippery, and puts the facility at risk during audits. Patching would have been a bandaid on a broken bone.
After
We replaced the entire floor with SaniCrete STX — a seamless, hygienic surface engineered specifically for this kind of environment. The new floor is:
- Seamless and hygienic — no joints or crevices for bacteria to hide
- Engineered for frequent washdowns — stands up to daily high-pressure cleaning
- Chemical and thermal shock resistant — handles hot water, sanitizers, and temperature swings
- Slip resistant — textured surface maintains traction even when wet
- Properly draining — no more standing water
Food safety is non-negotiable. The floor underneath your production line is a critical part of that equation. When patching isn't enough, it's time to invest in a system that's built to perform for the long haul.
