floorman is an unknown quantity at this point
No,that would be a sleeper system and i don't think that you would need one in this case.
What you do want to do however,is to take some of that plastic and cut it into 1foot x 1 foot squares, you will need 3 for the first 1000 square feet of floor space to be covered and then another 1 for every 500 feet of floor to be covered,now take some duct tape and tape those top the floor sealing all the edges real good,scatter them around the area so you will get a good portion of the floor covered to get a good reading,now let sit for 24 hours and see if the slab under the pieces of plastic are damp or wet,if so then you want to see how much moisture is in the slab and will need a calcium/chloride test to find that out.
If you don't do this then you may end up redoing the floor at a later date,so take the time to do this now and it will pay off later.
Do that and then get back to us and let us know what you come up with [8D]
