Title: Concrete Floor sometimes sweat in my pole barn
Post by: adamant on November 18, 2015, 05:45:37 PM

Inside my pole barn the concrete floor always feels damp. When we poured the floor years ago poured it over gravel. Someone said to me that I should have put a vapor barrier down like a sheet of plastic then poured over top of that. Well it's too late and I am in the process of making a little office inside my building and I don't want to have moisture issues in that room. What are some of my options? Thank you Anthony

I have the same issue in mine. It usually only happens in the spring and late summer when it's hot outside and cool in the shop.  If I heat the building all the time it's usually not a issue. I don't think there is a solution to the problem as putting a sealer on the concrete would just trap the moisture.
