ANSWER: If the paint has lift- ed from the floor but there was no lation of water, it might be caused by the presence of free lime in the concrete and the floor aint was, not alkali - resistant. uch paint should be removed with paint remover or by scraping with a floor sanding machine. Another method is to soften the paint by holding an intrared heat lamp about 12 inches from the surface; when softened, scrape it off with wide blade putty knife. Repaint- ing should be done with a rub- ber base paint. If there is water under the paint, moisture from the ground evidently accumulates and the only remedy is to remove all the paint, dampproof the sur- face with asphalt and asphalt-sat- urated felt; then put down a two- inch topping of concrete.
