Hotrocks68 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Hi all, i’m after a bit of advice,well reassurance really. I’m no expert but i’ll have a try at most things and 6 years ago i purchased a log cabin(4x5m)which i erected on a concrete base that i dug out and filled with about 6” of concrete. Anyway recently the floor felt a bit springy.I had a laminate floor on osb boards which were screwed into wooden joints sitting on the concrete.Anyway 6 years ago i did not use a sheet of dpm and so the joists and osb were rotten. So i threw away the osb and joists and instead of painting the concrete with some type of bichumen,i had a roll of brick dpc which i layed between the concrete and the new wooden joists.I put new osb down again with the original laminate floor on top. So my concern is have i done the right thing?……..i mean the moisture was obviously coming up through the concrete floor,soaking through the joists and up into the osb over a period of 6 years.Is it safe to assume the barrier i have now put down will stop this happening again?? Many thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Is the void ventilated? That's by and far the most important thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
