Why Does My Concrete Floor Sweat?
Causes of Surface Dampness on Concrete Slabs and Garage Floors:
Humidity—warm and humid air condenses into surface moisture when it comes into contact with the cool surface of your concrete floor or slab.
Faulty/Missing Vapor Barrier—moisture from the ground can seep up and through the concrete.
Solution:
Bone Dry's Etch-a-Crete is a great solution to open pores in a concrete slab. Moisture absorbs into the concrete instead of beading up on the surface.
What is the Source of Your Concrete Dampness?
A Simple Test to Find the Source of Concrete Moisture:
To discover whether your concrete moisture is caused by humidity or vapor barrier issues—
- Tape a 2 x 2 foot square of plastic sheeting onto dry concrete
- Wait 48 hours at minimum
- Remove plastic and check for moisture condensation
If there’s beaded moisture: a faulty or missing vapor barrier is a likely culprit—Bone Dry Products is your best solution
No beaded moisture: your issues are likely related to humidity—improving ventilation and controlling temperature will fix humidity problems
