Efflorescence on Limestone Dayron 09 Jul 2014 16:28 EDT
Just saw a potential customer with a limestone floor. The floor was installed 13yrs ago and didn't have any problems till about 5 yrs ago.  They noticed only a couple of areas with efflorescence. Now there is a significant areas full of it. The floor has been crystallized every year for 12 yrs.

They have never had a problem with a leak

They did a demo in an area and it got worse ( guy said he used diamonds but I doubt it, probably just crystallized )

They had servpro go to analyze an servpro said they had some moisture in the home ( not much in there estimate)

We informed client we need to do a moisture test, also plastic bag test

If moisture is present, we will do a demo in 1 room where we will cut with 400 grit diamonds and have a dehumidifier in the room until moisture is removed ad then we will repolish

Have you guys ever encountered something like this and what steps did you take.  Remember no leaks and this just started 5 yrs ago
