Why is my concrete floor wet

Discover why concrete floors become wet, the problems moisture can cause, and effective solutions to control concrete moisture. Learn about Logic Waterproofing's biobased product, Logic UH, for sealing concrete cracks and preventing moisture-related issues.


Understanding and Controlling Moisture in Concrete Floors

Concrete, despite its robust appearance, is inherently porous, allowing moisture to permeate through its surface. Even after the baking process, moisture continues to move through concrete via osmotic methods, seeking the path of least resistance to escape.

Why is Your Concrete Floor Wet?

The presence of moisture in concrete is a natural phenomenon. During the concrete formation process, nearly half of the water used combines with cement, while the remaining water remains trapped within the concrete's pores. This inherent moisture can lead to wet concrete floors, posing various challenges.

Problems Caused by Concrete Moisture

Mold Growth: Moisture infiltration into walls due to wet concrete floors creates an environment conducive to mold growth.

Surface Pressure: Excessive moisture in concrete, coupled with impermeable coatings, can lead to pressure buildup, resulting in coating damage and deterioration.

Common Issues Caused by Wet Concrete Floors

  • Coating Fractures: Excessive moisture can compromise the integrity of floor coatings, leading to fractures and delamination.

  • Uneven Surfaces: Moisture trapped beneath concrete surfaces can cause unevenness and the formation of bubbles in flooring materials.

  • Decreased Floor Lifespan: Concrete wear and tear accelerate in the presence of moisture, reducing the lifespan of the flooring.

  • Mold and Pathogen Growth: Persistent moisture fosters the growth of molds and pathogens, posing health risks.


Concrete Moisture Control Strategies

Regular monitoring and timely intervention are essential for mitigating moisture-related issues in concrete floors. Logic Chemie recommends the following strategies:

  • Vigilance: Regularly inspect concrete floors for signs of moisture accumulation to address issues promptly.

  • Logic UH Product: Utilize Logic UH, our biobased product, to seal surface and joint cracks in concrete. Its strong bonding properties effectively seal moisture-prone areas, such as walls and foundations, preventing further moisture infiltration.


Understanding the causes and consequences of moisture in concrete floors is crucial for maintaining a dry, healthy living environment. By implementing proactive moisture control measures and utilizing innovative products like Logic UH, you can effectively mitigate moisture-related issues and prolong the lifespan of your concrete surfaces.
