affecting performance of tempered hardboard flooring.
B. Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
3.2 PREINSTALLATION TESTING
A. Responsibility: Owner will engage an Independent Testing Agency to test and evaluate relative
humidity and moisture content of concrete slabs, and to make recommendations for moisture
mitigation if required. Subcontractor for the Work of this Section shall comply with the
recommendations of Owner's Independent Testing Agency, regardless if Subcontractor's testing
provides different results.
B. Acceptance: Owner will decide, based on testing results and flooring manufacturer’s
recommended maximum relative humidity and moisture content, if concrete substrate is
acceptable for installation of floor covering. Do not proceed with installation of floor covering
without Owner’s written authorization to proceed.
C. Remediation: If Owner determines concrete substrate is not acceptable for installation of floor
covering, Contractor shall provide a fluid-applied, resin-based, membrane-forming system as
specified in Section 09 0561.13 “Moisture Vapor Emission Control.” Remediation work will be
measured and paid for under the provisions of unit prices.
