What to record
- Collect available project scopes, product information and dated photographs.
- Label unknown materials honestly.
- Identify the intended use and any return-to-use or maintenance instructions still relevant to the surface.
The decision to discuss
Ask a qualified reviewer before choosing a new treatment when the existing system is unknown. A property sale does not establish the age or condition of a concealed slab. Keep the historical evidence separate from a current assessment.
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.
Send the town, approximate size and access details with wide views and close-ups. Photos help us route the inquiry; we confirm the project scope before booking.
