Why Redding Properties Need Moisture Vapor Barriers
Extreme Temperature Swings
Redding's 100°F+ summers and cooler winters create thermal cycling that drives moisture through concrete slabs, requiring robust vapor control.
Seasonal Humidity Changes
Variable humidity throughout the year affects concrete moisture content, making pre-installation testing and MVB treatment essential.
Industrial Requirements
Manufacturing and warehouse facilities in Redding require long-term flooring performance, making moisture control investment-critical.
Coating Protection
Prevents bubbling, delamination, and premature failure of expensive epoxy and polyaspartic coating systems.
Our ASTM Testing & Installation Process
ASTM F1869 Calcium Chloride Testing
72-hour moisture vapor emission rate testing at multiple locations to establish baseline conditions and MVB requirements.
Surface Preparation
Diamond grinding to achieve proper surface profile (CSP 2-3) and remove any existing coatings, contaminants, or laitance.
Primer Application
Low-viscosity epoxy primer penetrates concrete pores, creating mechanical bond and sealing minor surface porosity.
MVB System Installation
100% solids epoxy moisture barrier applied at specified thickness with proper overlap and edge sealing for complete vapor blockage.
Quality Control & Documentation
Final inspection, thickness verification, and complete documentation package for flooring contractor and warranty compliance.
