Moisture Control

Techniquex® is an expert in moisture migration mitigation. We have perfected this discipline through over a decade of testing products and processes to determine what works and what doesn’t. Our process starts with a very careful inspection of the existing concrete substrate, including a visual inspection for ASR (alkali silicate reaction) or other contaminants. Next, we prepare the flooring to generate the necessary floor profile for optimum system penetration. The area is then treated with dehumidifiers and fans to remove the existing moisture from the concrete cap and the surrounding environment. Once the space is treated, a multi-layer system is applied using varying degrees of viscosity to ensure absolute reduction of the vapor emissions to an acceptable level.     As specialty flooring experts, we realize the liability, business interruption and costs that are associated with a moisture failure.

For this reason, we only install the very best moisture control system available— DiamondStone® Diamond-VRS®. Diamond-VRS has had over 20 years in development and a track record of over a decade of impeccable performance. Couple this with an excellent rating backed by empirical data from the nation’s leading concrete testing laboratory and you have a moisture control system that you can depend on.      Here’s how it works: The plural-component modified polymer contained in Diamond-VRS is specifically formulated to treat concrete substrates with higher-than acceptable vapor emissions. It forms a permanent matrix within the surface that controls moisture vapor volume and salt migration. This product becomes a permanent part of the concrete, converting the concrete substrate into a moisture control barrier.
