The Simple Way to Test Your Concrete Subfloor Moisture Condition
Y
ou can’t avoid it. You have to do it. If you don’t want your flooring installation to potentially fall into the hundreds of millions of dollars per year lost to moisture-related flooring
failure, you must test the concrete subfloor for moisture before installing the flooring. The good news is that with the relative humidity (RH) test method and a tool like the Wagner Meters’ Rapid RH L6 in-situ concrete moisture test, taking an accurate measure of the moisture condition of a concrete subfloor is stupid easy. No master’s degree from MIT needed. The Rapid RH L6 concrete moisture test is designed for real-world use, where project timelines demand efficient installation and readings from the concrete sensors. You can use the easy-to-follow instructions that come with your Rapid RH L6 concrete Jason Spangler Wagner Meters’ Flooring Division Manager

test or follow the short instructional video to learn how to install and read the Rapid RH L6 sensors. In case you’re skeptical about how easy it can be, here’s the micro-version: 1. Drill the hole. The starter kit comes with a drill bit to ensure you drill the hole to the right specs. 2. Clean the debris from the hole. Yeah, the starter kit has a brush and vacuum attachment to help you with this as well. 3. Insert the L6 sensor into the bottom of the hole. Use the insertion tool provided (seriously, Wagner Meters include everything you need). 4. Remove the protective cover on the sensor cap and snap that cap onto the sensor hole. 5. Now, get on with your day. See your favorite opera, binge watch some superhero show — or even move on to a new task or a new job site.
