- How to solve moisture problems in concrete subfloor. Before we could install our wood flooring we first needed to solve the moisture problem in the concrete floor. We used my go to for sever moisture problems which is Bostik's MVP4. We troweled on the MVP with a 3/16 by 5/32 v-notched trowel. You can install this product no matter how high the moisture percentage is. You then have to wait 12 - 16 hours before installing your wood flooring. I love this product because it gives us a full warranty against moisture so you can have that piece of mind especially if your installing an expesive wood floor.
I have another video about this product as well from one of our other projects last year so be sure to check it out. I will put the link in the description below. As well as some links to other products I use on all my jobs.

Sticky job. Good info.
Sealing only protects from water intrusion on the side that is sealed. The moisture pushing up from under the home will have an unbelievable amount of hydrostatic pressure behind it that absolutely no coating in existence will stop. In the mean time, before the coating fails, it's actually locking the moisture in to the slab and not allowing it to breathe. The underlying cause is most likely a water management issue that needs to be solved outside and around the home. It could be as simple as a grade issue, poor installation of gutters/down spouts etc. or it could be that a proper french drain must be installed to divert water to an appropriate location, which is no small undertaking.
So you’re saying my garage floor that sweats horribly in the summer is going to need a rubber or vinyl floor. ? Talk to me. 😃 Thanks
I wouldn't use any floor covering at all, let the slab breathe. Any type of floor covering will just trap that moisture and degrade the slab faster. Your foundation could be built on clay heavy earth that is always wet or could have a poor vapour barrier, but the moisture needs somewhere to go and up is its path of least resistance in your case.
@@SH-yn2jw it’s a floating slab. Just got a tr6. Don’t want it to rot. I poured the floor 25 years ago.
GREAT VIDEO!
I didn't know about this product.
Question.... what do you use for excessive moisture in concrete when floating a vinyl floor?
What if you are not using glue down floor?……can this be put with LVP?
Good info in your video, thanks for sharing. I'm a "new guy" when it comes to concrete sealing.
I've got a garage floor that has very high moisture with constant efflourescence coming to the surface. I'd like to seal this floor and wanted to know if this product you used in this video (MVP4) can have an epoxy coating put over the top? Or is there another concrete sealer I should use for a garage floor?
The garage floor sees moderate to high use between parking vehicles and regular vehicle work/hobby/maintenence with jacks & jack stands & occasional automotive fluids.
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Hi Jones I have moisture in my basement concrete floor I want to place laminate flooring do you recommend mvp?
can you put this product over top of self leveling concrete?
What product should be used to seal concrete from moisture and is self leveling? This would be for a floating floor will be installed?
i have this problems... question is the moisture in the air or doesn't it bleed via the floor?
Hi I have a question? Doesn't sealing the floor force the damp into the walls?
Did you find out the answer?
@@simsim5919 yep it can do.. I've asked a lot of people and there are lots of conflicting opinions! But generally if the moisture can't escape via its usual route it'll find another way to get out!
Why not use a redguard?
What is mvp?
Its the product!!!!😅
This customer/client really needs a French drain / ecological--preferably-- installled here.
The water table is either really high, or the house was graded poorly by the builder (common), such that a several hindred thousand dollar investment is sitting in a pool of water at times.
