Damp issues

[^woody^]

Hi, this is my first post, so I hope I have got this right? I have water coming up through the concrete floors, if I place a dry bag on the floor and then later lift it up the bag there is wet on the floor, so anything that is placed on the floor also draws up the wet. Does anyone know what this maybe? Also, should you have a drain inside the house? and should the front door be below the damp course? Thanks

You should start your own thread

And give more detail as the info you have given is very vague

The issue is that your DPM in the floor is either missing or non continuous. Alternatively there could be a leak from some plumbing either above or in the concrete layer.
