What to record
- Record normal heating or conditioning, known water history and existing flooring.
- Preserve actual test reports and their locations.
- Show perimeter junctions, cracks and any earlier coating failure.
The decision to discuss
Ask which manufacturer's requirements and evaluation apply. A temporary dry or heated condition should not be treated as representative of all future use without review.
Why the surrounding context matters
Moisture requirements depend on the selected flooring or surface system. Keep reported test methods, locations and results with the proposal. A dry-looking photograph and a documented evaluation answer different questions; neither should be described as the other.
Further background: NRMCA: concrete slab moisture. This general background does not diagnose your property.
