Resilient flooring is scheduled over a new concrete slab, but moisture testing has not been completed. The flooring crew wants to install to meet the turnover date. What is the correct field decision?

Correct Answer

D) Complete required slab moisture and pH tests and follow the flooring manufacturer's limits before installation

Resilient flooring failures often come from slab moisture or alkalinity outside manufacturer limits; required testing should be completed before adhesive installation. Other choices risk bond failure and warranty rejection.

Answer Options
A
The crew should install and rely on the adhesive warranty, leaving floor moisture testing unverified
B
The crew should install only in low-traffic rooms and leave floor moisture testing unchecked
C
Add more adhesive to overcome moisture, leaving floor moisture testing unverified
D
Complete required slab moisture and pH tests and follow the flooring manufacturer's limits before installation

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Resilient flooring failures often come from slab moisture or alkalinity outside manufacturer limits; required testing should be completed before adhesive installation. Other choices risk bond failure and warranty rejection.
