Concrete slab moisture mitigationConcrete slab moisture mitigation final inspection checklist
Concrete slab moisture mitigation final inspection is where the punch list is either short or expensive. This checklist walks the finished work the way an owner or AHJ will see it: devices on, systems running, everything labeled. Each item gets the photo that closes it instead of reopening it. Work is commonly verified against manufacturer's published instructions, ASTM F3010 / F710 guidance. Confirm the edition your authority having jurisdiction has adopted.

Who runs it
The GC's superintendent with the applicator, walking the coated slab before flooring is released over it.
When in the schedule
After the mitigation coat has cured and before any flooring or adhesive goes down, since the membrane is buried and unreachable after that.
The checklist
Every item, and the photo that proves it
The photo count on each row is what RTI would require before the item can be submitted. Copy the list as is, or load it into RTI and let the gate enforce it.
Coverage and thickness
- 2 photos
Consumption and thickness meet the required rate
Material used compared against the coverage rate for the area, wet or dry film thickness checked, no areas stretched thin to make the kit last.
- 1 photo
Cure taken before anything goes over it
Coat given its cure time and conditions per the system before recoat or flooring, surface hard and not tacky or soft underfoot.
Continuity and tie-in
- 2 photos
Continuous film with no holidays
Coat unbroken across the field under raking light, no pinholes, skips or thin translucent spots, second coat where the system requires one.
- 2 photos
Edges, penetrations and terminations tied in
Coat carried up at walls, columns and penetrations and terminated as detailed, no gap at the perimeter where vapor could bypass the membrane.
Verification
- 1 photo
Retest or bond check before flooring is released
The system's confirmation step performed on the cured coat and the result on record before flooring is scheduled over the slab.
What usually sends this back
The failures are almost always the evidence, not the work
- Coat spread thin to stretch the kit so consumption comes up short of the rate the system needs to hold back the vapor.
- Pinholes and thin spots left uncoated because a second coat was skipped, giving vapor a path straight through the holidays.
- Flooring released the same day with no retest or bond check, so nobody confirmed the membrane actually did its job before it was covered.
Run it with the Photo Gate
A checklist nobody can submit half-finished
Load this list into RTI, stick a QR tag on the area it covers, and the submit button stays locked until every mandatory item is answered and the 8 required photos exist. Approved walks roll into a branded turnover package with a tamper-evident record behind every line.
Submission state
The gate is enforced on the server, so it holds even if the phone is offline when the walk happens.

Common questions
- What does this concrete slab moisture mitigation final checklist cover?
- 5 items across 3 sections, covering coverage and thickness, continuity and tie-in, verification. Each item spells out what the person walking the job is actually looking for, not just a box to tick.
- Who should run this inspection?
- The GC's superintendent with the applicator, walking the coated slab before flooring is released over it.
- When in the schedule should this walk happen?
- After the mitigation coat has cured and before any flooring or adhesive goes down, since the membrane is buried and unreachable after that.
- Why does every item ask for a photo?
- 8 of the 5 items call for photo evidence. A checklist answer without the photo is a claim; the photo is what makes the record worth something in a dispute and lets a reviewer approve work without re-walking the job.
- What most often fails a concrete slab moisture mitigation final inspection?
- Coat spread thin to stretch the kit so consumption comes up short of the rate the system needs to hold back the vapor. Pinholes and thin spots left uncoated because a second coat was skipped, giving vapor a path straight through the holidays. Flooring released the same day with no retest or bond check, so nobody confirmed the membrane actually did its job before it was covered.
- Can I use this checklist in RTI?
- Yes. Start a free RTI workspace, build this list as a checklist, and the Photo Gate holds the submit button until every mandatory item is answered and its photos are attached. Approved inspections roll into a branded turnover package with a tamper-evident audit trail.
