ATR provides professional carpet glue, tile adhesive, mastic, and thinset removal for both commercial and residential projects. Commercial scopes can continue into a complete flooring installation; residential scopes leave the concrete prepared for underlayment, coatings, or handoff to the homeowner's flooring contractor.
Customers call ATR when a flooring or concrete condition is putting the next installation, the facility, or the project schedule at risk.
The problem
Carpet tile or broadloom removal left adhesive that prevents new flooring, primer, or underlayment from bonding to the concrete.
How ATR solves it
ATR removes the glue and prepares the slab to the surface condition required by the system that comes next.
The problem
Tile demolition exposed hardened mastic, thinset ridges, and high spots that make the substrate unusable as-is.
How ATR solves it
ATR removes the remaining material, corrects high spots, and restores a clean, workable concrete surface.
The problem
Even a thin adhesive film can become a bond breaker beneath self-leveling underlayment, coatings, or polished concrete.
How ATR solves it
ATR evaluates the residue and next-system requirements so preparation supports adhesion and manufacturer compliance.
The problem
Aggressive removal can scar, gouge, or over-profile concrete and create additional repair work.
How ATR solves it
ATR matches the removal method to the adhesive and slab, with dust control and protection planned for the project environment.
Adhesive removal is more than scraping residue from the surface. ATR selects the removal and preparation method for the existing material, the condition of the concrete, and the flooring system that comes next.
Remove carpet tile and broadloom adhesive from concrete so the slab is ready for its next flooring system.
Remove tile adhesive, mastic, and residual bonding material from concrete floors and other approved substrates.
Remove cured thinset and high spots left after tile demolition to restore a clean, workable concrete surface.
Address old flooring adhesives, multiple residue layers, and stubborn bond lines without leaving the next installer to solve the problem.
Use controlled concrete grinding and surface-preparation methods when the slab condition or next flooring specification requires them.
Remove bond-breaking residue and prepare the slab so primers and self-leveling underlayments can perform as specified.
Create a clean, properly prepared surface for epoxy, urethane, polished concrete, and other finished concrete systems.
Prepare concrete for commercial carpet, resilient flooring, tile, wood, and other finished-floor installations.
Prepare basement, renovation, and other residential concrete floors before your flooring contractor installs the finished floor.
ATR can stop at a clean, properly prepared slab for another flooring contractor, or continue into commercial underlayment, coatings, polished concrete, or finished-floor installation. The handoff is defined before work begins, so every contractor knows the required surface condition.
The required underlayment, coating, polish, or flooring installation determines the finished surface condition.
Adhesive removal, controlled grinding, and concrete profiling are selected for the actual material and substrate.
Work areas and removal methods are planned to control dust and disruption in homes and active facilities.
ATR can continue with commercial flooring installation or leave residential concrete ready for the homeowner’s selected flooring contractor.
ATR removes carpet glue, tile adhesive, mastic, thinset, and other flooring adhesive residue from concrete. We assess the existing material and concrete condition before recommending the removal method.
Yes. We work for commercial contractors, facility managers, property managers, flooring contractors, and homeowners. The scope can range from one residential room to phased preparation in an active commercial facility.
Yes. We remove bond-breaking residue, address remaining high spots, and prepare the concrete for the primer and self-leveling underlayment specified for the project.
When the concrete condition or next flooring specification requires it, ATR includes controlled grinding and surface preparation in the scope. The method is selected after the slab and existing adhesive are evaluated.
ATR offers commercial finished-floor installation as part of our commercial flooring services. For residential projects, we can prepare the concrete and hand it off ready for your selected flooring contractor.
Tell us what flooring is being removed and what system will be installed next. ATR will define an adhesive-removal and surface-preparation scope for your commercial or residential project.
