Our Moisture Testing & Barrier Process

1

ASTM Testing

Install RH probes at 20% and 40% slab depth. 72-hour equilibration period for accurate moisture readings.

2

Surface Prep

Diamond grinding to CSP 3-4 profile. Remove all laitance, contaminants, and existing coatings for proper adhesion.

3

Barrier Application

100% solids epoxy primer applied by squeegee and back-rolled for uniform thickness and complete moisture blocking.

Topcoat System

Apply specified flooring system over cured moisture barrier. Options include epoxy, urethane, or polyaspartic topcoats.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes—even in Chico's dry climate, concrete can retain moisture from construction or seasonal changes. ASTM F2170 testing ensures proper coating adhesion and prevents future failures.
Minimum 28 days for full cure, but moisture testing determines readiness. We test at multiple depths to ensure conditions are ideal for moisture vapor barrier application.
Over 3 lbs/1000 sq ft in 24 hours typically requires moisture vapor barrier. Our ASTM testing provides precise measurements for your Chico facility.
Only if existing coating is sound and properly prepared. We assess adhesion, remove loose material, and profile the surface before moisture vapor barrier application.
Typically 10-15 mils dry film thickness. We may apply multiple coats depending on substrate porosity and moisture transmission rates detected in testing.
Yes—our moisture vapor barriers are formulated for thermal movement. They maintain integrity through Chico's seasonal temperature variations while blocking moisture transmission.
