RE: [Chrysler300] concrete floor

["Terry and Andree Hoeman" <tehoema@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Our main storage building is a uninsulated metal walled  35 by 83 foot building which is well sealed so it helps but was still getting damp but not wet inside in summer.  We have run a dehumidifier in the back of the building with a hose draining the water out the front door for many years.   It is naturally heated and cooled so in Nebraska it gets some temperature swings of course but they are slow at least due to its 14 foot height.

The single residential dehumidifier has done the trick easily.  It of course has to be off in weather where the compressor will freeze up.

Do it---simple solution unless your building really has a lot of air circulation inside.

Jim,
I'll do a little brainstorming here. I am not sure how or if any of this will work.
You could try painting the floor with 2 or 3 coats of concrete sealer, or...
You could try covering the floor with heavy mil plastic, or...
You could try covering the floor with rubber roofing, (rolls come ten foot wide and can be glued where it overlaps). I got a lot of this (used) that had been taken off over the years by a large roofing company. I used it as a floor in a couple of dirt floor carports. I cut strips for in my garden, I covered boats with it, and so on. I don't know why they had removed so much of the stuff, nothing was wrong with it!
Let us know what you try and how it works.
