Come ride with me and do a real concrete moisture test and learn exactly how to do it and get the confidence you need to perform it exactly according to ASTM standards.

Standards and specifications govern concrete moisture testing in the flooring industry. This module provides detailed coverage of the key ASTM standards, flooring manufacturer specifications, and how to navigate situations where standards and specifications conflict or leave gaps. Understanding these documents is essential for defensible testing and professional practice.

This module bridges theory and practice through realistic scenarios, case studies, and practical decision-making exercises. You'll apply knowledge from previous modules to situations encountered in professional practice, developing judgement for complex real-world conditions. Each case study presents a scenario, asks you to consider how you would approach it, then discusses professional approaches and lessons learned.
