Hello,
I own a 1985 3 bed semi with concrete downstairs floor. I decided to lay new flooring downstairs and after removing the carpet, underlay and tiles the buliders stuck down i decided to test the floor with my £10 damp meter and it is showing that damp is present (audio type meter) Originaly i thought that this was because the door wasnt sealed underneath as i tested in the hall way near front door.
Tonight i tested under the carpet and tiles in the dining room where no doors are present and the meter is beeping again. The concrete isnt wet or damp to touch, just cold.
Do I have anything to worry about or is just because im using a typical cheep DIY testing meter.
Ive tested all the walls and they seam fine.
Thanks for your help.
