Consumer says four year old floor has never been wet. Not even for cleaning. Only dust mopped.
Did you try not to laugh out loud? Been on tons of those inspections, unless they outright admit it itf you look in the closets you'll
usually find a spray swiffer jobby or a steam mop. Did you check for animal urine?
What are you taking the PH test on Dan ? and what is it going to tell you ?
The piers appear to have settled in the above photo creating a low spot. Well over 0.150" in a six foot span.
Interesting, was the spot there before or after the install? QUOTE]
Unknown. (No way to prove either way.)
Gotcha! It appears that either it is a low-grade, inferior product, the consumer has allowed things to occur which have seriously affected the floor, or there is an extreme humidity issue. My guess is the first one.
Curious ... if you are inspecting something, why would you worry about taking a Ph test and having someone ask what you're doing? You do what you gotta do!

Tia, are you recommending CaCl tests on a wood subfloor over a crawl space?
What I meant in my earlier post is that I can't prove what the relative humidity has been in the past. I can only prove what it is at the time of the inspection. I can look for indications that excessive moisture has been present in the past. Even if I find evidence, such as dried mud and evidence of running water in a crawl space, I still can't prove what the rh was at the time those were created.
By the way, second photo in post #1 shows evidence of topical moisture.
