[su_posts posts_per_page=”1″ tax_term=”2703″ order=”desc” orderby=”rand”] Also asked, can moisture come up through concrete?
Concrete’s porous nature means that water from under your home can seep up through your concrete floor, making it damp. This can cause issues with mold and mildew, especially if you have carpet or furniture on top of the concrete. Sealing the concrete can help eliminate the dampness on your floor.
Likewise, why is my concrete slab wet? There are a couple of reasons why your garage floor may be getting wet. The most common is condensation — AKA sweating garage floor. When relatively warm, moist air comes in contact with a very cool concrete slab, the cold temperature of the concrete will cause the air that comes in contact with it to cool.
Moreover, how do you get moisture out of concrete?
How to Remove Moisture from a Concrete Floor
- Ventilation. Air circulation will increase the evaporation rate of the water from the concrete.
- Heating. Heat will also increase the evaporation rate.
- Dehumidification. Running a dehumidifier (or letting in outside air in colder temperatures, less than 40°F) will also increase the rate of evaporation.
Can concrete cure in the rain?
It all has to do with timing, and at what stage in the curing process the concrete is in. If the rain occurs when the concrete is fresh (about 2-4 hours after mixing), the surface should be protected from the rain. If the surface quality of the concrete is found to be compromised, remedies are available.
