        "text": "Moisture vapor rising from the soil beneath your slab can break the bond of epoxy coatings, causing bubbles and peeling. If you suspect moisture, a simple plastic sheet test—taping a 2x2-foot sheet of clear plastic to the concrete for 24 hours—will reveal condensation underneath. In areas like Aurora and surrounding Denver suburbs with expansive clay soils, slab moisture levels fluctuate with precipitation. If excess moisture is present, a dedicated moisture-mitigating primer must be applied before the decorative coating to block vapor pressure and guarantee a durable, long-term bond.",
