So humid the carpet is wet?
(OP)
I am being told that A building is so humid the carpet is wet. I have never heard of this situation. I (and the building) are in the northeast so maybe if you are in the southeast (US) you have seen a similar situation?





RE: So humid the carpet is wet?
Perhaps, there's a water leak? Is this occurring on all floors? If it's a particular floor, it could be that the occupants in the lower floor has cranked up the A/C, making the floor particularly cold. Is there condensation on the walls?

Follow the water. Where did it come from? What's the cold surface in the room? How's the moist air getting in?
Best to you,

Never heard of carpets becoming soaked before condensate was noticeable on the walls. If the 50-year old exhuast fan died during the night, all the nice stainless steel equipment and walls would be running rivers.

So, it's possible then, that your A/C is not controlling the humidity, and there is a continual influx of moisture because the building is not exchanging its air sufficiently to remove the residual moisture.

There's certainly little possibility that it's coming from the concrete itself, the water that was in the mix is tightly bound into hydrates, oxides, and hydroxides that are not easily relieved of their water molecules.
