concrete slabs
  • rh testing with in situ probes aligned with astm f2170
  • mver calcium chloride testing aligned with astm f1869
  • ph checks to confirm adhesive and finish tolerances
  • surface temperature and dew point to prevent condensation risk
wood subfloors and crawlspaces
  • moisture content readings for subfloor and flooring materials
  • hvac and crawlspace conditions to support stable service conditions
  • documentation that helps protect warranty and disclosures
warranty safe rule of thumb
test first. match barrier and underlayment to the readings. document everything. then install.

barriers retarders and underlayments

moisture protection is not one size fits all. the correct system depends on subfloor type flooring category and your test results. the goal is simple reduce risk protect performance and stay aligned with the manufacturer warranty.

vapor retarder
slows vapor movement. commonly used for wood subfloors under nail down hardwood. helps control seasonal swings.
moisture barrier
significantly impedes vapor. often required over slab or crawlspace conditions for lvp laminate and floating systems.
liquid mitigation
when rh or mver exceed limits a compatible liquid applied system may be used to lock down emissions before adhesives and leveling.
a moisture safe install still requires flatness within spec. patching grinding self leveling and dust controlled prep matter.

material specific guidance and after water damage

different materials respond to moisture differently. the right testing and barrier strategy protects both appearance and long term performance in north metro atlanta homes rentals listings and commercial spaces.

hardwood
solid hardwood typically needs verified moisture content alignment plus a properly rated vapor retarder. engineered hardwood can be more stable but still needs documented conditions. refinishing works best when wood moisture is stable so the finish cures properly and holds up.
waterproof does not mean ignore slab moisture. lvp still needs a dry flat substrate plus the barrier system approved for your product. rigid core can be excellent for basements rentals and faster rebuilds after water events.
laminate tile and carpet
laminate needs barrier protection and correct expansion. tile can tolerate moisture but vapor can affect bond and grout. carpet in ground level spaces benefits from moisture aware padding options for better long term comfort.
moisture testing and documentation help support adjuster ready decisions. once drying is complete the right replacement system and barrier plan keeps the rebuild on track and warranty safe.
