Concrete slab moisture mitigationConcrete slab moisture mitigation punch checklist
Concrete slab moisture mitigation punch is where small misses become callbacks after the crew has demobilized. This checklist walks the finished work the way the owner and the next trade will see it, with the photo that closes each item instead of a note that reopens 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 applicator on a callback, or the GC's superintendent closing mitigation items before flooring.
When in the schedule
During closeout on the coated slab, after other trades have walked and staged on it and before flooring covers the membrane for good.
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.
Defect repair
- 2 photos
Pinholes and holidays found and recoated
Slab rechecked under raking light, each pinhole or skip marked and recoated to tie into the surrounding film, not just spotted over.
- 1 photo
Delaminated areas cut back and re-prepped
Loose or blistered coat removed to sound, bonded material, the area re-prepped and recoated rather than layered over the failure.
Edges and signoff
- 2 photos
Edge and penetration touch-up completed
Perimeter and penetration tie-ins touched up where staging or traffic nicked them, continuity restored at every termination.
- 1 photo
No remaining mitigation items before flooring release
All punch items closed with photos and the coat confirmed continuous before flooring is released over the area.
What usually sends this back
The failures are almost always the evidence, not the work
- A holiday touched up with a dab that does not tie into the surrounding film, leaving a seam the vapor still finds.
- A delaminated patch recoated on top instead of cut back to sound material and re-prepped, so the new coat lets go with the old.
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 6 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 punch checklist cover?
- 4 items across 2 sections, covering defect repair, edges and signoff. 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 applicator on a callback, or the GC's superintendent closing mitigation items before flooring.
- When in the schedule should this walk happen?
- During closeout on the coated slab, after other trades have walked and staged on it and before flooring covers the membrane for good.
- Why does every item ask for a photo?
- 6 of the 4 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 punch inspection?
- A holiday touched up with a dab that does not tie into the surrounding film, leaving a seam the vapor still finds. A delaminated patch recoated on top instead of cut back to sound material and re-prepped, so the new coat lets go with the old.
- 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.
