When I moved into my new house the prior residents had both cats and dogs that urinated on the carpet. So when we moved in my little dogs peed all over the carpet also. We had to pull up the carpet and when we did we found out that there was rough concrete underneath. Well my dogs still pee on the carpet. I have used Pinesol and bleach it works for like a day then the smell comes back. What else can I use to get rid of the smell? I read that there was something that could break down the chemical make up of the urine and maybe keep the smell out of the concrete. If anybody could help me with this problem I would really appreciate it. Thanx

I wish i could help you, but I don't have a solution for you. I think concrete is a porous material and when you say its rough, it makes me think its more porous. I envision urine running down through all little cracks and crevices. It might be worth an estimate from a company that specializes in wet basements, etc. they would know what product you could put on the concrete to seal it... (polyuerthane ?) You don't need to hire them to do the work. Maybe you can do it yourselves. I would just ask for an estimate and then go from there to make your decision. I would not want to have to jackhammer up the concrete. I am sure if basements with concrete floors can be sealed there must be a way to help your situation. Good luck!
KilZ, name brand paint primer is the only thing that will seal that smell in and lock it out for good. Be generous with the coats of it when sealing before laying padding and carpets.
