Lignomat offers in-situ RH test kits, pinless and pin meters to measure concrete moisture. Pin and pinless meters give instant results and can detect areas of low and high moisture levels. However, the readings are not reliable enough to determine whether or not resilient floor coverings or coatings can be installed. The in-situ RH test method is recommended before installing floor coverings. |

Comparison: RH in-situ – Pinless- Pin – Calcium ChorideWhy drilling holes for in-situ probes is necessary?Concrete slabs are an integral part of a building. Excess moisture in the slab will over time be released and can affect the entire structure — from walls, to floor coverings, to interior decorations. Not to mention serious health problems caused by mold. Moisture tests of concrete slabs are usually conducted to determine whether or not floor coverings or sealers can be applied or to find out why a problem occurred. To give reliable results, the test needs to show, that the middle of the slab is dry. It is not enough to show the surface has dried out. A slab freshly poured or centuries old is dry if: Graph 1: If a slab is not entirely dry and the surface is not covered or sealed, the moisture distribution within the slab is uneven. The slab is loosing moisture through the surface, but the core still has a higher moisture level. |
