Concrete Floor Slab issues, especially moisture related failures, continue to be a major cause of failures in adhered floor coverings including resilient floors, wood, laminates, and vinyl backed carpets. Christopher Capobianco of Flooring Answers has been involved in studying and teaching about this issue for a number of years and has served on the ASTM Committee F.06 on resilient flooring that has created the industry standards for concrete testing such as the Calcium Chloride Test Method. He has written extensively on this topic, and you can see many examples of this work by clicking the Articles link above.

Flooring Answers is uniquely qualified to discuss concrete issues, from specification to pre-installation testing, to failure analysis. Through our affiliation with Independent Floor testing and Inspections (IFTI), we can help diagnose concrete moisture related failures, or have your floors tested before installation so as to prevent failures from happening. IFTI is a Concrete Slab Moisture Testing & Floor Failure Analysis and Consulting Company, doing business nationwide since 1997. We have created a culture and reputation during that period that fosters the highest industry standard of excellence and integrity, and a system and process that provides cost effective Certified Reporting, "On-Time, Every-Time anywhere in the United States".
