Moisture questions to ask before coating a floor

A dry-looking surface does not answer every moisture question. Ask the installer what evaluation the selected coating requires and how the results affect the proposal.

Describe the history of the space

Tell the owners about visible dampness, previous peeling, water entering beneath doors or changes after heavy rain. These observations help frame the visit; they do not establish a diagnosis. Do not assume a decorative coating will solve drainage or water-entry problems.

Get a product-specific decision

Ask how any testing or moisture-related preparation will be documented. Manufacturer requirements vary, so a generic pass/fail number is not enough without the product and test method. If extra work is needed, request a revised written scope before installation.

Document the result and the decision

Ask what evaluation will be recorded and how its findings affect the proposed coating. If a moisture-related concern changes the scope, request an explanation of the next step before approving work. Keep those findings with the estimate instead of relying on a verbal statement that the slab is fine.
