Thanks, I'll have to try that. So for the plastic test... If there's water on top of the plastic, but not under, then it is condensation. And if there's no water on top of the plastic, but it's we underneath, the it is moisture coming up through the slab. And if there's water on top of the...

Well, I'm not sure if there's a moisture barrier under the slab. If I did along side the perimeter do you think you be able to find out... Like would the plastic extend beyond the edge of the slab when they pour it? I did paint the floor with some epoxy paint when it was empty. The first time...

Looks looks like a heater for sure. But I've never seen one that looks exactly like that before.
