It's very important. Well a profesional would use a concrete moisture meter. they cost from $200-$400. A less expensive way is to but not as accurate is to tape a 12"x12" piece of plastic to the concrete and wait. about 72hrs. If there's condensation the level is to high. Remember the level can change at diferant seasons. They're moisture control systems you can use if you moisture level is to high.
