Moisture Mitigation
Professional moisture testing and mitigation systems for commercial concrete slabs. Protect your flooring investment from moisture-related failures.
Who This Service Is For
Property managers, building owners, and contractors installing moisture-sensitive flooring materials like LVT, sheet vinyl, or certain adhesives. If your concrete slab has elevated moisture levels, proper mitigation is essential to prevent flooring failures and protect your investment.
What's Included
- • ASTM-compliant moisture testing and assessment
- • Recommendation of appropriate mitigation system
- • Surface preparation for mitigation system
- • Installation of moisture barrier or mitigation system
- • Verification testing after installation
- • Documentation for warranty purposes
Our Mitigation Process
We begin with comprehensive moisture testing using ASTM-compliant methods. If elevated moisture is detected, we recommend an appropriate mitigation system based on your conditions and flooring type. Our proposal includes detailed scope, system specifications, timeline, and pricing. Once approved, we prepare the concrete surface and install the mitigation system according to manufacturer specifications. We verify the system's effectiveness and provide documentation for your records.
Common Use Cases
- • Installing moisture-sensitive flooring like LVT or sheet vinyl
- • New construction with elevated slab moisture
- • Ground-level or below-grade installations
- • Preventing warranty issues with flooring manufacturers
- • Protecting flooring investment from moisture damage
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is moisture mitigation important?
Excessive moisture in concrete slabs can cause flooring failures, adhesive breakdown, mold growth, and warranty issues. Proper mitigation protects your flooring investment.
How do you test for moisture?
We use ASTM-compliant moisture testing methods including relative humidity probes and calcium chloride testing to accurately assess moisture levels in your concrete slab.
What moisture mitigation systems do you install?
We install various mitigation systems including moisture barriers, epoxy moisture control systems, and other manufacturer-approved solutions based on your specific conditions and flooring type.
When is moisture mitigation needed?
Mitigation is needed when moisture levels exceed manufacturer specifications for your chosen flooring material. We test during our site walk and recommend mitigation if needed.
How long does mitigation installation take?
Most mitigation systems can be installed in 1-2 days, depending on square footage and system type. We provide detailed timelines in our proposals.
