I'm moving into a new home. I want to laminate the floors.
But I don't want it to buckle after a couple of days, so
How dow I measure the moisture content of concrete floor?

Richard

The easiest method would be to place a 2'X 2' piece of 6 mil visqueen on the concrete and taping the perimeter with duct tape. Keep it there for 24 hours and if it show no signs of moisture or clouding it should be fine for your installation.
