 Post subject: Mold under flooring
PostPosted: Thu Aug 04, 2005 11:50 am 
A Capella Hardwood Floor. Specification; Standard, Rdok,Brz,3/8Tx3.25wxrndml,1/8wear,sq Edg.
The flooring has been installed on a concrete slab that previously had carpeting installed with no problems of moisture
ever noticed. The installation was completed about a year and a half ago and has begun to show dark spots and mold growing on the surface of the engineered wood planks. There was no floor preparation (leveling or water proofing) when the flooring was
installed. What would be your best guess as to the cause of the problem down here in New Orleans? Have you seen such
conditions and what were the causes?

Thank you for your reply. It seems as though I can't get a straight answer here locally.

Sincerely,

Brent J. Driskill CMC, IH[/img][/code]
