What to Know About Water Moisture and Concrete

As a concrete slab dries, the amount of moisture of vapor movement will slowly diminish until there is no source of additional water in a slab.

With the concrete slab dry, the only problem you have to worry about now is the ground underneath it.

The ground underneath the concrete contains moisture, which will attempt to pass through the slab to the air above.

Many people think concrete is impermeable, but the truth is that water can easily travel through most concrete – depending on the grade of the material.

This may seem surprising, as concrete is used for dams, canals, and many other commercial applications where retaining water is essential.

How a DC Concrete Vapor Barrier Can Help

A concrete vapor barrier in DC will reduce moisture migration – eliminating a number of common problems that moisture causes.

Installing a vapor barrier will help with:

• Dampness - Get rid of the cold, clammy feeling from a damp slab.
• Discoloration - Stop a stained slab from being discolored and control efflorescence effects.
• Delamination - Make your concrete sealer and overlay last by halting water vapor transmission.
• Condensation - Prevent water from condensing under objects and aiding mold growth.
• Radon - Block gases such as radon and methane from entering a structure through the foundation

This list of problems ranges from aesthetic issues to health concerns.

A vapor barrier can help you avoid these problems and prolong the life of the concrete installation.
