As the second and third coats are applied, these small cracks are filled in during the process, so they do not progress to the visible finish coat. When this process is rushed and layers do not have sufficient time to dry, small cracks in the base layers are stressed by the additional weight before the first coat has had time to cure properly. The cracks then are telegraphed to the next layer and the next layer. This often results in large cracks developing on new installations within a couple of months.
We know where to look, and what to look for. We pinpoint the moisture content in the underlying substrate. We provide a detailed inspection report including photos, infrared imaging, moisture mapping, and remediation recommendations.
