Testing & Measurement

The NextStar concrete crack monitoring gauge measures crack width changes with ±0.02mm precision over a ±20mm range. Epoxy-bond or screw-mount permanently to any foundation wall, slab, or retaining wall. Reusable — buy once, monitor indefinitely.

• Install before repair to establish a baseline, or after repair to verify stability.
• Detect active movement — a crack widening over time may need structural intervention before injection.
• Used by engineers, inspectors, and contractors on foundation monitoring programs.
• Suitable for foundations, basement walls, retaining walls, concrete floors, and pool decks.

Industry-standard anhydrous calcium chloride test for measuring moisture vapor emission rates (MVER) in concrete floor slabs before applying epoxy, polyaspartic, or decorative coatings. High vapor emission is the leading cause of coating delamination and failure.

• ASTM F1869 standard — required by most coating manufacturers for warranty compliance.
• Includes pH test — identifies high-alkalinity concrete that causes adhesion failure.
• Test takes 60–72 hours on a prepared slab surface.
• Test before any epoxy, polyurea, polyaspartic, or decorative floor coating application.

The Pro 3 is a continuous electronic radon gas monitor for home basement testing. Canadian-certified for accurate measurement — no lab submission required. Plug in and read results directly from the unit.

• Continuous monitoring — real-time readings updated regularly, not a one-time snapshot.
• Canadian-certified — meets Health Canada radon measurement standards.
• Place in the lowest occupied level of the home — typically the basement.
• Health Canada action level: 200 Bq/m³ — mitigate if long-term average exceeds this threshold.
• Test before and after any radon mitigation treatment including EmeSealCrete sealer application.
