concrete garage floor moisture
Concrete moisture is a sincere enemy of epoxy floor coatings, so before you start thinking about applying that epoxy, take the time to find out just how much moisture is in the floor. here are the two most common types of test for concrete moisture.. In commercial applications, when carpet, wood, or vinyl flooring is installed over damp concrete, moisture creates real havoc, since the dampness and high alkalinity will lead to mold, emulsified adhesives, and warped flooring.. Garage floor paint is best applied to concrete that is clean, dry and free of serious cracks or damage. cracks and small holes can be patched with concrete patch products before painting. check the garage floor for moisture. Why does my concrete floor sweat? causes of surface dampness on concrete slabs and garage floors: humidity—warm and humid air condenses into surface moisture when it comes into contact with the cool surface of your concrete floor or slab.. faulty/missing vapor barrier—moisture from the ground can seep up and surface through the concrete if no vapor barrier has been installed or is faulty. At dew point, moisture from the air will condense on any surface where it is not readily absorbed, including glass, steel, floor coverings, coatings or a tight, hard steel troweled or densified concrete surface..

Moisture testing is an important aspect in providing a successful concrete floor coating project. we follow the astm (american society for testing and materials) international standards for moisture testing..
