Moisture Mitigation Systems
Proven Solutions to Protect Floors from Vapor Damage
Moisture-related flooring failures can lead to costly repairs, downtime, and compromised safety. At Peckham Coatings, we’ve been addressing these challenges for over 25 years—and we bring deep expertise to every job.
We install proven moisture mitigation systems from trusted manufacturers to ensure coatings, adhesives, and flooring finishes perform as intended—even over high-moisture concrete slabs.

Why Moisture Mitigation Matters
Moisture vapor moves from cool zones (beneath the slab) toward warmer air above. In most cases, the ground under a slab remains around 55°F, while indoor temperatures are much warmer. This temperature difference causes moisture vapor to migrate upward, where it can accumulate at the surface of the concrete.
If a vapor-impermeable material—like sheet vinyl, VCT, or epoxy—is installed over that slab without protection, the trapped vapor can delaminate adhesives, blister coatings, and damage the finish.
Moisture mitigation systems provide a permanent, resin-based barrier that blocks vapor transmission and preserves the integrity of the installed flooring system.

System Features & Approach
- Applied directly to concrete slabs (even over elevated moisture levels)
- Compatible with adhesives and finish systems (VCT, epoxy, tile, etc.)
- Can include a self-leveling cementitious overlay for flatness or adhesive performance
- VOC-compliant and manufacturer-backed
- Tested and verified systems only—no shortcuts
Recommended For
- Facilities with known vapor issues or prior coating failures
- Projects on accelerated timelines (green concrete, tight turnover)
- Slabs with high RH readings or failed calcium chloride tests
- Any installation of moisture-sensitive finishes (vinyl, wood, carpet, epoxy)
Ideal for:
- Hospitals & Healthcare
- Schools & Universities
- Retail Stores
- Commercial Offices
- Warehouses & Manufacturing
You Can Expect
With decades of moisture experience, we go beyond product specs to ensure real-world results.
- Thorough on-site evaluation and vapor testing
- Detailed system recommendations based on finish type and timeline
- Certified installation using trusted, manufacturer-approved systems
- Optional leveling for adhesive-based finishes
- Clear documentation and warranty compliance
