This test, also known as the Calcium Chloride Test, is used to determine the rate of moisture emitted from a concrete slab. The results determine the acceptability and condition of the floor covering. This evaluation is needed to avoid costly repairs, liability issues, and reinstalling the entire floor.
Additionally known as the Hood Test, this test determines the relative humidity above the surface of a concrete slab. During this procedure, a thermally insulted hood is placed on and sealed to the slab. This measures the relative humidity, temperature and dew point within it.
Our pH Test determines the acceptability of a concrete floor based on the alkalinity or acidity of the slab. This is intended for the installation of resilient flooring.
When it comes to testing concrete, this is an extremely useful procedure. Core testing consists of drilling a portion of the slab out and sending it to a lab for testing. This is completed by professionals who provide a complete analysis of the slab’s components, as well as how much of each is used. The results help determine if certain contaminants are present in the slab, which would affect the installation of the floor covering.
Advanced Moisture Testing utilizes this test to determine the relative humidity in a concrete slab. This is accomplished by installing a probe into the slab, which tracks and measures the humidity inside the slab itself. The test gives an accurate result of the moisture that exists within it. When excessive moisture permeates from the slab after an installation, floor covering systems can fail from debonding, deterioration, buckling, and other moisture related issues.
