Sweaty carport

I have a home with a carport. At this time of the year when the humidity is high and the temperature starts to fall, the concrete floor “sweats”. The entire floor is wet with puddles of water in places. Can this problem be solved?

Thanks,

Rodney

Tom: Enclose the carport and heat it and air condition it. I’m serious, it’s going to be the only answer and of course you’re not going to want to do that. A carport is notorious for this because a concrete’s cold, the fronts run through, it’s no different than that beer can or Coke can out by the pool, you got that cold surface, you got the hot warm air touching it and condensate forms. That happens with carports because they’re open and they don’t breath as well as the rest of the concrete so it’s going to sweat.
