ABS Floor Covering is now an ICRI Certified Testing Company. Our technician, John C. Salinas, has acquired his Certified Concrete and Slab Moisture Testing Technician Certification (CCSMTT), allowing ABS to perform certified testing.

ABS can also be utilized as a certified 3rd party testing agency on projects or installations whereby we are not the flooring installation company. Our services are available locally in the Valley of the Sun and across all the Southwest.

Why Moisture Testing is Essential

Proper moisture testing protects your investment and ensures successful flooring installations.

ICRI Certified

Our certified technicians have completed ICRI (International Concrete Repair Institute) certification for accurate moisture testing.

Protect Your Investment

Proper moisture testing prevents costly flooring failures and ensures your installation warranty remains valid.

Third-Party Testing

We provide independent, unbiased testing services even when we're not the installation contractor.

Industry Compliance

Our testing ensures compliance with TCNA, CRI, and manufacturer requirements for flooring installations.

ASTM Tests We Perform

We perform all standard ASTM moisture tests to ensure comprehensive evaluation of your concrete slab.

ASTM F710

PH/Alkalinity Test - Measures the pH level and alkalinity of the concrete surface.

ASTM F1869

Calcium Chloride Test - Measures moisture vapor emission rate (MVER) from the concrete slab.

ASTM F2170

In-Situ Probe Relative Humidity Test - Measures relative humidity within the concrete slab using probes.

ASTM 2659

Electronic Moisture Meter Test - Non-invasive testing using electronic moisture meters.

ASTM F3191

Concrete Porosity Test - Evaluates the porosity and density of the concrete substrate.

When Should Moisture Testing Be Performed?

Testing should be performed after the environment has been acclimated (HVAC) to standard operating conditions for a minimum of 48 hours. Moisture emission is contingent upon vapor pressure differences between the substrate and room interior.

Before installing any floor covering
After HVAC has been operational for 48+ hours
When moisture-related issues are suspected
For warranty compliance requirements
During pre-construction planning
After water damage or flooding
