In a recent blog, we discussed the vexing problem of vapor transmissions through slabs on grade. In my previous post, MoistureLevel system proves cost effective for treating vapor transmission, I discussed the damage and consequences of moisture vapor as well as moisture transmission through capillary suction in concrete slabs on grade.
We also discussed, in more detail, the difficulties with current approaches to resolving this problem that are costly, invasive, and present difficulties with performance.
Over the last 13 years David Deatherage, PE of Copper State Engineering, and I have been developing sub slab depressurization systems. I have filed a patent with the patent trade office approximately 3 years ago and have been installing the systems for almost 2 years with almost 200 of them installed to date.
The advantages to using the MoistureLevel Smart Foundation System to control vapor transmission through slabs on grade are:
We are installing this on several projects in need of this type of remediation. Making the environment healthier for everyone helps everyone!
