My semi finished basement concrete floor concrete walls etc is divided into three sections.
Room under concrete porch.
The solution here is simple.
Tour the 660 square foot cottage.
1 section 1 is under our covered porch 2 section 2 is under our covered porch 3 section 3 is under the rest of our house.
If the roof will be attached to the house later the porch should have hte same type of foundation as the house meaning you you should verify that you only need 24 of frost protection and then plan on laying at least 3 courses of block on top of an 8 thick concrete footing.
I am wondering whether it is a good idea to insulate the ceilings in either section 1 or 2.
Rather than crowd the porch with furniture dueling porch swings were hung and guests are encouraged to pull out chairs.
There will be 12 block the whole way up to the slab.
If the porch is a poured slab use a jackhammer.
Clean and maintain your cold room regularly and keep humidity levels under control whether that means using a dehumidifier installing vapour barriers or adding an extra vent.
So here is my situation.
As warm moist indoor air hits these cold surfaces water droplets condense on the surface.
Begin demolishing the main section of the porch.
The homeowner widened and deepened the front stoop turning it into a porch that s 28 by 8 feet.
Ideally you should have two vents in your cold room one at the top and one at the bottom of the room.
Concrete slab ceiling with 6 small metal tabs poking out of the slab presumably to allow you to tie into them.
Damp area under the porch stairs and some water leaking in from the old wood framed window.
If it gets cold.
But the dampness is not horrible home inspection said that for what it is the room is dryer than expected.
The room in question has an interior formadrain as well but i didn t plan a sump for any part of the basement.
