An existing building I'm looking at for a small brewpub currently has a nice cement slab floor with a floor drain. I plan to run a trench drain, but the problem is the floor where the brewhouse and fermenters will go is currently not sloped.
I've heard stories of slopes poured on top of an existing floor just cracking apart over time. Other than the extra work of having to squeegee to the trench, is there a problem with a level floor?
And if so, how have others here rectified this situation? Is there a way to build in a slope that will last, outside of tearing up the whole thing and starting from scratch, that wouldn't also break the bank?
Does anyone here work in a brewery with a level floor?
Thanks in advance.
CHEERS!!!
