Bleed water is still visible on a freshly struck-off interior slab, but the finishing crew wants to start steel troweling to stay ahead of schedule. What should the superintendent require?

Correct Answer

A) Wait until bleeding stops and surface water is gone

Wait for bleeding to stop and surface water to disappear before subsequent finishing. Rapid evaporation can hide continued bleeding. Do not work water into the slab or add dry cement. Initial leveling before bleed water appears is a separate operation. Source: https://www.nrmca.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/14pr.pdf
