AVOID FLOORING FAILURES

Moisture Testing of Concrete Slabs
The long-awaited day has come, the project is complete,
and everyone involved is eager to show off the new
look of the facility. But wait a minute. Something is
terribly wrong. Adhesive is bleeding through joints
between the floor tiles, and there are bubbles in the sheet
goods (Fig. 1) and epoxy flooring. Worse yet, there is a
noticeable odor in the air. Sabotage? No, unfortunately
what is occurring on this project has become all too
common across the country. Such problems are being
caused by moisture and moisture-induced high pH levels
beneath flooring materials.
How can this be? The slabs were tested for moisture,
and the results appeared to comply with the requirements
of the flooring material manufacturer.
