· 10 reviewsConcrete Floor Drying
Concrete can retain moisture after the surface appears dry, particularly where water has remained beneath coverings or moved across a slab. The required assessment depends on the slab, finishes, age, construction and intended reinstatement.
My HomeDry records comparative conditions, reviews evaporation restrictions and plans drying without presenting a surface meter reading as a complete material diagnosis.
Floor coverings restrict evaporation
Vinyl, laminate, timber, underlay and coatings can trap moisture or conceal the affected area. Selected removal may be needed for inspection and drying.
Surface readings have limitations
Electrical meters can be influenced by density, salts and embedded metal. The method and interpretation should match the floor and the decision being made.
Before new finishes are installed
The flooring contractor may require a specific test method or standard before installation. A drying contractor's comparative record does not replace every manufacturer's requirement.
