I absolutely agree with you Charles. However, I have the following choices:

#1 - Allow the installer to correct the problem. If unsuccessful, file suit. Chance of winning: very good.

#2 - File suit and do not allow the installer to correct the problem. Chance of winning: very low.

--------

I do trust the advisors here and the local professionals who've told me that repairing the floor is virtually impossible. However, I am virtually forced to allow the installer to correct the problem (or lose a large amount of money by paying someone else to replace the floor with no refund from the installer). He intends to 'shave' a few boards to give the floor more room, so to speak. He's then going to sand the floor to remove the rampant cupping. Then he'll hand scrape and finish.

I am certain that my floor is 'junk' - however, if the installer makes the 'repairs' and I (as a layman) am not able to identify any problems (ie when finished, the floor looks good) - then the floor stays and we live happily ever after. . .And that is what brings me here. . .

Given the current state of the floor, what should I look for during the 'repair' process and afterwards to document my case for a new floor? I honestly don't know what to ask you professionals - I only hope that some can give me tips on what to look for.

Thank you,
Dan

the Tramex Moisture encounter is a meter able to measure moisture content of wood products, laminate and through vinyl to measure concrete. It is not a meter to use directly on concrete.
To measure Concrete Moisture Content the meter to use is the Tramex Concrete Moisture Encounter.
The Moisture Encounter and Concrete Moisture Encounter are two completely different meters for different uses.
Perry is confused or simply wrote the wrong name in his post.
Many manufacturers recognize the Tramex Concrete Moisture Encounter as reliable for measuring Moisture Content in concrete as do most Inspectors.

I just purchased the Delmshorst concrete meter, or pinless meter. any feed back on that yet?

Yes, I did leave the word concrete out of that tools name??

Never heard of Tramex's moisture encounter, that is not their concrete moisture encounter. Thought that was called a moisture meter, not with the "encounter" name attached.

SK,
I have not used that meter so am unable to comment.
Most manufacturers are familier with Tramex COncrete Moisture Encounter and have respect for the meter and results.
Sorry not able to give better help on your meter.
