Water Damage from Concrete in Moorpark, CA

3/7/2017 (Permalink)

One would never think that water pooling in your backyard on concrete could create such damage. Moisture can enter through the stucco of your home where the concrete meets the home. Not to mention when your house sits on a slab of concrete, a whole floor can cup from the concrete being too wet. This can happen even when a vapor barrier is used under the laminate floor. Every concrete floor should be tested for moisture before laminate floor covering is installed. Concrete that is newly poured needs to be allowed to cure for sixty days or more before the laminate is installed. There are several ways to test for moisture. These procedures should be performed by professionals like our highly trained technicians at SERVPRO, such as electronic testing and calcium chloride testing. We will have the right equipment and training to do the job right.
