Concrete Sweating Problem ?

[JFFB]

What do you Guys do when your back covered porch and what ever is sweating water with these temperature changes like they do at this time of the year. I'm sure I'm not the only one deals with this. Thanks

Tagged, not sure you can do anything but maybe the brain trust has something.

is there a problem with it sweating??? idk
i think it's like getting dew on the car.

nothing more than temperature differentials.

You can put a fan on it if you NEED to dry it. Other than that, just wait a day or two.

If you're just covered and not enclosed and air can circulate I don't see how the concrete can sweat.

Concrete gets cold air warms up sweats like a ice cold coke in the summer heat. No solution

They didn’t use a vapor barrier when they poured it.

It doesn’t have anything to do vapor barrier. If it gets cold then gets warm it will sweat. Moisture doesn’t come from below the concrete it forms on top when the warm air meets cold surface.

squeegee it into the yard.

Wipe it up. Or squeeje.

Cold concrete and warm moist air…moisture will condensate.

Cold drink and warm moist air…cup will have condensate.

Cold metal window and warm moist interior air…windows will have condensate.

Same same but different.

You don’t use vapor barrier on patios or any outside concrete. And, it wouldn’t matter if you did.
