Abstract:
A specification for a project we are about to begin requires that the slab have a maximum moisture vapor emission rate (MVER) of 3 lb/1000 ft2/24 hours and a pH of 5 to 9 before we can place the floor covering. What steps should we take to ensure we meet the specification and decrease the time we will need to wait before we install the floor covering?
