Measure first, coat with confidence.
Moisture tests tell you whether a slab is dry enough for a coating and whether a barrier primer is needed.

What it is, and why it matters.
Moisture is the quiet cause of many failed coatings. Simple plastic-sheet checks give a hint, and calcium chloride or in-slab relative humidity tests give numbers you can compare with the coating manufacturer's limits.
Concrete Coating tests slabs in Nashville and across Middle Tennessee before coating. We place tests, read them on schedule and explain what they mean, so you know whether to coat now, wait or add a moisture barrier.
Four things done right.
Clear data
Numbers beat guesses.
Fewer failures
Know before coating whether the slab is ready.
Better plan
Barrier or wait, based on results.
Documented
You get a note of the readings.

01Moisture Testing: common questions
Can I test moisture myself?
A taped plastic sheet is a simple hint. For reliable numbers, calcium chloride or humidity probes are better, and we can do them for you.
What if the slab is too wet?
We can wait, improve ventilation or use a moisture-mitigating primer. We explain the options with the readings.
How do I get an estimate for moisture testing?
Fill in the form or call or text 615-431-3789. A few photos and the size of the area usually give us what we need, and we send a written price. Larger jobs start with a short visit.
