Moisture and salts can and do migrate through concrete slabs as they seek equilibrium with the environment above the concrete. The resulting pressures and condensing water vapor can ruin painted floors, rugs, wooden flooring and almost anything placed over the concrete. After-the-fact solutions include using a breathable surface coating, reducing the porosity and permeability of the concrete and/or using special epoxies that can bond sufficiently well to moisture rich concrete so as to successfully resist the forces that can develop.

At MYPAINTER, we will make sure all walls are dry enough to before applying paints by Protimeter moisture tester.
