No question about it: the right flooring in the right place adds function and beauty to any building. That is, as long as excess moisture is never an issue.
There have been countless articles on concrete moisture testing, moisture meters and the affects of moisture on plywood and OSB but few on the more unique underlayments such as Thick Pour Gypsum Cement.
The imperative to get a job done quickly and efficiently may overshadow the need to fully test concrete slabs to determine whether moisture remediation is called for. However, if moisture testing is not conducted and moisture content sneaks up on you in the middle of a project, it can be extremely disruptive to schedules and it can be costly.
We asked several moisture meter manufacturers to weigh in on the accepted industry tests, what they measure, how to interpret the results and some of the products they recommend.
