nobody can seem to help me... i have a problem with my garage floor, it seems chalky and breaks up easy . I have to brush it up say once a week sometimes more if in and out of the garage more. When i sweep it up it looks like fine chalk and can leave foot prints when i go back up stairs.. i'm trying to find a product to seal the floor from keep breaking up other then concrete
It's called dusting. Too much water was used when the concrete was steel troweled. Use this product to stop the dusting:

Hello Mr. Carter,
The presentation about efflorescence on floor tiles is great. I appreciate your explanation.
I have a follow up situation that is happening on the surfaces of these tiles with efflorescence problem. these surface become full of black stains and spots. would appreciate your feedback on this. have some photos if needed
The black spots are probably mildew. Use my http://www.StainSolver.com to get rid of them. It's certified organic and made here in the USA with USA ingredients.
Well I typed a long question but the refreshing erased it so I'll just say thank you for the info on brick walls. Any ideas for managing water running from a roof valley to an inside corner and overspilling the gutters?---90 degrees at that corner and no downspout.
Most people put up a 3-inch tall diverter which stops the overshooting issue.
I would like the secret ingredient to adhere stone to the stucco wall,
Marc,

I have a cotinuously growing gap between my cement floor (covered with carpet) and the molding trim, which I have tried covering twice. I am concerned about a structural issue that may need to be addressed. My home (a three story building) was built in 1993 and I have lived here for 21 years (I bought the building from the builder) and I have noticed the separation from shortly after moving in. What should I do?
