Service room floors such as Mechanical rooms shall be completely sealed from water and moisture penetration.
A continuous vapor barrier is required for all floor slabs on Grade:
15-mil minimum thickness
Water Vapor Permeance less than or equal to 0.02 perms tested by ASTM E 96
Puncture Resistance greater than or equal to 3,000 grams tested by ASTM D 1709
Tensile Strength greater than or equal to 65 lbf/in tested by ASTM E 1745
Chemical Resistance “Unaffected” tested by ASTM E 154
All seams lapped and taped
Turn up at all slab perimeters and cut off flush with top face of floor slab.
