Moisture Mitigation Systems
Moisture Mitigation Systems in Jupiter, FL
Protect Your Investment. Stop Floor Failures Before They Start.
Even the most beautifully installed epoxy floor can fail if underlying moisture problems are ignored. At Jupiter Epoxy Flooring, we take moisture seriously. Our Moisture Mitigation Systems are designed to prevent delamination, bubbling, discoloration, and premature coating failure caused by moisture vapor emission from concrete slabs.
Whether you're installing new flooring in a residential garage or a large commercial facility, ensuring your concrete is properly sealed against moisture is the most critical step in long-term floor performance.
What Is a Moisture Mitigation System?
Moisture mitigation is the process of detecting, addressing, and managing water vapor transmission from the concrete substrate before installing epoxy or other floor coatings.
Concrete may look dry, but it can emit moisture vapor from below the surface—especially in humid climates like Florida. If this vapor becomes trapped beneath the epoxy coating, it can cause coating failure within months or even weeks.
Our solution: apply a professional-grade moisture vapor barrier, designed to block vapor transmission and ensure the coating bonds securely to the slab.
Why Moisture Mitigation Matters
Prevents Coating Failure
Without proper protection, floors can blister, bubble, peel, or delaminate due to vapor pressure beneath the coating.
Saves You From Costly Repairs
Installing a vapor barrier now is far more affordable than tearing out and redoing a failed floor later.
Essential for Below-Grade & High-Humidity Areas
Basements, garages, warehouses, and anywhere with high humidity or slab-on-grade construction are especially vulnerable.
Protects Your Warranty
Moisture-related failures are often not covered by warranty unless a vapor barrier was installed.
Improves Coating Adhesion
Our barrier systems improve the bond between the epoxy coating and the concrete, resulting in longer-lasting performance.
Our Moisture Mitigation Process
01.
Moisture Testing
We evaluate your slab’s moisture levels using proven testing methods.
02.
Surface Preparation
We grind the concrete with diamond tooling to remove contaminants and open the pores for barrier bonding.
03.
Crack & Surface Repair
Any cracks, holes, or spalls are repaired for a clean, uniform surface.
04.
Moisture Barrier Application
A premium, two-component epoxy or urethane vapor barrier is applied—engineered to block moisture transmission up to 25 lbs/1000 sq. ft./24 hrs.
05.
Dry Time & Inspection
The barrier is left to fully cure, after which we confirm the surface is ready for epoxy installation.
How Do We Detect Moisture Issues?
We use industry-standard testing methods to measure moisture vapor transmission, such as:
Calcium Chloride Testing (ASTM F1869)
Relative Humidity Testing (ASTM F2170)
These tests help us determine whether your slab requires a moisture mitigation barrier before proceeding with your epoxy installation.
