Category 1 clean water loss... VCT over concrete.. Would u remove VCT or dry in place??
Yes monitor it.How would u know? Just monitor
You can get some microbial activity depending on what organic material might be present. We've seen some very high counts when moisture is trapped by the vinyl. It can also cause some discoloration from the microbial growth that would cause the damage.So what happens if the slab is wet?

Wow that's impressive. We've never attempted it. We will dry a day and monitor from there unless you see water weeping from the edge or see it seep out when stepped on. Then its pull the loose tiles.we have actually played with using wood floor mats to get VCT to re-adhere. 100% success rate. Granted only tried 4 times.
Do it! It's pretty cool. The trick was to but all the mats together. Don't leave gaps like you would on wood floors.My initial post were about vinyl, I read VCT but thought vinyl.
You might be able to use a tramex and go to an unaffected are and use it as your dry standard. The problem is concrete always have some moisture moiving though it so your meter could just pegged even in unaffected areas.
