Just as the world we know continues to change, so does the construction industry. I have been around the construction industry for most of my life and have seen many changes. For instance, using wood 4×4’s as screeds with a cement type product put between the 4×4’s to hold them in place, or using burlap between the soil and concrete.As inspectors, we are asked to go out and look at problems every day. Over the last couple of years, I have noticed an increase in moisture related problems in concrete substrates that seem to be occurring more often every year.The moisture issues within the concrete substrate are not from new construction or even construction twenty (20) years ago; it seems more relevant in older slabs particularly around the 1980s and older.
