Concrete Moisture Testing in Jonesboro, AR

Why Moisture Testing Matters in Jonesboro

Jonesboro sits in the Arkansas Delta, a flat, low-lying agricultural region where rich alluvial soil and an unusually high water table have supported farming for generations — and where that same groundwater can work its way into a concrete slab long after the pour. A humid subtropical climate with heavy spring rainfall adds to the challenge, since the Delta's clay-heavy topsoil drains slowly compared to sandier or rockier ground elsewhere in the state. A slab that appears cured on the surface can still be retaining enough internal moisture to cause adhesive failure, cupping, or mold growth once flooring is installed.

With continued growth in Paragould, Trumann, and Brookland, more contractors across Northeast Arkansas are treating moisture testing as a standard part of the project timeline rather than an optional step.

ASTM-Standard Testing Across the Jonesboro Metro

The Orange Grounds LLC performs all major ASTM test methods required by flooring manufacturers and general contractors throughout Jonesboro and its surrounding communities. ASTM F2170 internal relative humidity probe testing measures moisture deep within the slab and is the most widely specified method used today. We also perform ASTM F1869 calcium chloride moisture vapor emission rate (MVER) testing for projects that call for surface-level results. Every test includes ASTM F710 pH testing and porosity testing at no additional charge, giving you a complete picture of slab readiness in a single visit. See our full services page for complete details on each test method we offer.
