Modern construction schedules rarely allow for the “rule of thumb” drying time of 30 days per inch of slab thickness. You need to floor it now. But accelerating the schedule increases the risk of moisture failure.
The Risk Mitigation Strategy
If you cannot wait for the slab to dry naturally, you must plan for mitigation. But you shouldn’t pay for mitigation you don’t need.
- Baseline Testing: IFTI tests the slab early to establish a drying curve.
- Data-Driven Decisions: If the slab fails, our independent report validates the need for a moisture barrier (Topical Moisture Mitigation System).
- Warranty Compliance: Most major flooring manufacturers require documented moisture testing to honor their warranties.
IFTI provides the documentation that bridges the gap between a fast schedule and a warrantable installation.
