Slabs near a hand-dug canal system
Winter Haven's Chain of Lakes canals, dug between 1915 and the early 1920s to move citrus by water, mean the water table near those engineered waterways sits closer to the surface than on a lot farther from the canal network.
What that means for a coating job
A concrete slab near Winter Haven's canal system deserves a moisture-vapor test before coating, since engineered drainage can leave ground wetter at certain times of year than a natural, unaltered lot nearby.
