Concrete can emit water vapor as it dries over long periods of time, leading to moisture or alkalinity problems when non-porous floors are installed over concrete. These emissions can ruin installations of residential and commercial flooring such as sheet vinyl, vinyl composition tile, vinyl backed carpets, and epoxy or polyurethane coatings.

Moisture vapor emission control techniques (or, more simply, moisture mitigation) involve applying a special cement based concrete topping over the concrete subfloor, which eliminates the moisture problems and results in lower costs for the finished flooring system.
