CONCRETE MOISTURE TESTING

We perform in-depth analysis and testing of concrete slabs to determine moisture levels, core temperatures, surface PH levels, and to identify potential surface contaminants. We are equipped and trained to perform In-situ/RH probe and surface moisture tests in accord with ASTM standards.  From rapid RH (relative humidity) tests to ensure that flooring materials will be covered under warranty, to our detailed and intensive reports including compression tests on the concrete, moisture barrier confirmation, or soil evaluation testing, our goal is to provide the reports and data that you need. A Calcium Chloride (MVER) test is also a reliable indicator of the quantity of moisture that is moving through the top section of your concrete by measuring the vapor emissions in gallons of water per 24 hours. Evaluating moisture in concrete is a complex process and many factors come into play, so we welcome a discussion regarding your needs. We have packages for our industrial, commercial, and residential clients. 

CORING AND COMPRESSION TESTING

Coring holes in concrete is no easy task. There are inherent dangers involved to both people and property. It requires a thoughtful, careful, and planned strategy to ensure that the coring is completed in a way that is proficient without compromising safety. Cores can be removed with a dry coring method or a wet coring method and both have their place. We never "core blind". Prior to any core being removed, we scan the concrete with our radar scanning equipment to ensure we do not damage any utility or steel reinforcement. At times an engineering company will ask us to remove a section of concrete that includes steel reinforcement for testing, and with our scanning equipment we can pinpoint exactly where to core drill. Our focus on safety and our thoughtful approach is why so many use us repeatedly for their core drilling needs. Many of our clients require a compression test that will determine the PSI of the concrete and other data that is needed. Contact us about your project and we can discuss our pricing structure.

SPECIALTY REPAIRS

Concrete has a tremendous amount of mass and with minimal movement can create heaving, cracking, contraction, and other problems that if not addressed will cause severe problems. We perform specialized repairs to help eliminate major structural failures and keep the concrete within safe functioning parameters. Please call us to discuss the many ways we can assist.

 

• Epoxy and single component crack injection
• Removal and re-installation of two component expansion sealants
• Waterproofing and non-slip sealant applications
• Floor, wall, and ceiling injection treatments

 

 

CRITICAL ENVIRONMENT CLEANING

Over 70% of server failures can be traced to improper or neglected cleaning. Dust you can see and the particulates you can't, build up and collect on surfaces causing a multitude of problems. Whether it's the surface of your computer cable access flooring or the chases below. The exterior of your hardware, above the tiles of your drop in ceiling, or any other sensitive area you need cleaned we are the solution. 

While the proper cleaning techniques and equipment are extremely important, our technicians and their attention to detail and careful care around your highly sensitive equipment set us apart. We do not sub-contract any work and only used our highly vetted, trained, and experienced employees. All employees and owners at Smithson Solutions are subject to a rigorous bi-annual background check and security inquest to ensure that our clients are not compromised in any way.

Please call or email us for details on our one time service or our annual maintenance agreement. We service both large and small businesses. 

 

 

Safety is Paramount

Jobsite safety and the protection of people and property are not a secondary concern for us, it is our primary mindset. Construction can be dangerous and is an occupation filled with hazards. Concrete slabs and walls are filled with pipes, steel reinforcement, and a multitude of other unseen ingredients. The equipment used to test and analyze concrete can be dangerous. Our workers will always wear full personal protective equipment and will approach all projects with a mindset of protecting life and property. These are non-negotiable standards built into our process which is designed to provide our clients the confidence, protection, and peace of mind they deserve.

We drive safe, we work safe, we live safe, and we believe accidents are preventable. This principle guides us and benefits you. 

 

We Never Stop Learning

Technology, science, environments, and understanding are constantly changing. Improvements in equipment and methods don't stop, neither will we. We attend seminars and training classes, read product updates, workshop with other industry professionals, and engage in countless means of learning new and improved methods of performing our job. 

Students always, teachers sometimes, experts never. We endeavor to maintain a humble, teachable attitude and we believe this engenders the respect and loyalty of those we work with.
