Polyurea vs. Epoxy Grout

The Costly Mistake Contractors Keep Making

You’re repairing a leaking basement. The client wants the cheapest option—epoxy grout. You warn them it might fail, but they insist.

Six months later, the leak returns. Now they’re furious, and you’re redoing the job for free.

Sound familiar?

Why Epoxy Grout Fails (And Polyurea Doesn’t)

The Hidden Costs of ‘Cheap’ Grout

Yes, polyurea costs 2-3x more per gallon than epoxy. But consider:

• No Redos – Polyurea lasts decades, epoxy fails in 5-10 years.

• Zero Downtime – Cure time = minutes, not days.

• No Callbacks – Happy clients = more referrals.

Case Study: Factory Floor Rescue

A food processing plant’s epoxy-grouted floors kept cracking under heavy forklifts. After switching to polyurea:

• Zero cracks in 3+ years

• Saved $120,000 in annual repairs

The Takeaway

Stop losing money on temporary fixes. Polyurea pays for itself.
