Throughout my career as a flooring installer, I have come across countless numbers of timber and vinyl floors that have failed due to one reason or another. After thorough investigations more than 80% of these floors have failed due to either wet concrete or hydro-static pressure. To my amazement most of these floors had never been moisture tested, (a very quick and easy test). Time and time again I hear builders saying “she’ll be right mate the concrete’s been down for weeks”.

To conform to the Australian standard of flooring installations, concrete must have a reading of no greater than 5.5% moisture content. As a general rule of thumb, concrete dries at approximately 20-25mm per month.
