MOISTURE CONTROL SERVICES
Managing moisture is crucial for the longevity and quality of wood flooring in architectural projects. We understand that architects need to preemptively address moisture-related issues to avoid costly repairs and ensure the success of their installations. Our Wood Flooring Moisture Control Services are designed to provide comprehensive solutions, from state-of-the-art mitigation techniques to expedited installation schedules.
Step-by-Step Guide to Our Wood Flooring Moisture Control Services
Step 1
Initial Assessment
Understanding Your Needs: Architects require a thorough understanding of how wood reacts to moisture.
Our Solution: We begin by assessing the moisture levels in the environment where the wood flooring will be installed. Concrete substrates are evaluated using industry-standard wood flooring test methods, including ASTM F2170 relative humidity testing.
Step 2
Pre-Installation Planning
Understanding Your Needs: Proper planning can prevent issues like crowning, cupping, and buckling.
Our Solution: We design floor installations to mitigate adverse effects of moisture, ensuring that the wood is fully acclimated in its final location. Moisture readings are also a core part of our wood flooring quality control inspections during installation.
Step 3
Moisture Mitigation Techniques
Understanding Your Needs: Concrete buildings often present unique moisture challenges.
Our Solution: We employ state-of-the-art moisture mitigation techniques specifically designed for wood flooring installations in concrete buildings.
Step 4
Controlling Percolating Moisture
Understanding Your Needs: Moisture rising through concrete slabs and subfloors can damage a floor long after installation.
Our Solution: We specify vapor retarders, moisture mitigation systems, and testing protocols that control percolating moisture before and after installation.
Step 5
Installation Scheduling
Understanding Your Needs: Installing before a building reaches normal operating conditions is a leading cause of flooring failure.
Our Solution: We schedule installation around HVAC operation, moisture readings, and acclimation, so flooring goes in only when conditions are right.
