Barrier One – Pre-Emptive Steps (8/20/2025)

“Every year, in North America alone, commercial property owners spend an estimated $2.4 billion on remediation of structures and floor coverings due to moisture-related failures. Excessive moisture in concrete slabs is not only the most commonly recurring flooring problem in all types of commercial, industrial, and residential buildings, but it is also the most expensive. Moreover, when you consider the added financial burden of business disruptions and loss of return customers, the economic impact of finished flooring damage can be staggering.” CTLGroup

There are preemptive steps that can be taken to reduce costly moisture-related flooring failures. One of the most effective is to use Barrier One PIA liquid admixture in the concrete mix.

Barrier One PIA addresses moisture issues before the concrete is poured.

PIA’s Function: Inhibits and blocks the redistribution of concrete moisture and moisture drive.

Benefits of PIA: Eliminates the need for topical moisture mitigation systems, reduces wait times, and provides an adhesion guarantee for flooring.

Recommended Applications: All adhered, stained, sealed, dyed, colored, polished, terrazzo, and floated flooring applications.
