The Australian industry benefits from the non-destructive testing (NDT) of materials by using advanced technologies to conduct materials tested and research in moisturising the concrete subfloor. The technicians of Advanced Technology Testing and Research, established in 1986, is an organization specialising in moisture-related flooring failures.
In installing the flooring systems through the concrete, you need to provide a robust flooring system and by concrete moisture test. Moisture is a common issue in flooring that appears to be dry but is not because concrete is a porous material, and the ground moisture will slowly move up and form a vapor that impacts anything that sits on top of it. Although concrete moisture testing can reveal the state of your subfloor, Australian Standards require those moisture floorings protects against failure.
How does moisture testing on concrete subfloors work?
The concrete subfloor, whether old or newly constructed, may appear moist from exposed concrete such as refrigerators, flood saturation, groundwater, freshly poured concrete, and leaking. Therefore, once you are enclosed by adhesive and floor covering in concrete flooring or exposed concrete, the humidity increases.
Despite the availability of approximate testing meters, the company uses concrete moisture test to utilise humidity probes following Australian Standards, as recommended by adhesive manufacturers. This method can make you feel confident of the results of providing an accurate, defendable, and trusted moisture test on your flooring system and others.
To conduct the moisture tests, drill down about a 19mm hole halfway through the concrete slab to reach the designated test area. The intensity of the slab is determined by the thickness or whether on-ground or metal deck. The sensor of the moisture tests is inserted down to the center of the hole and sealed. In addition, when the hole in the concrete slab is already filling up, they are ready for flooring.
