Covered Patio Floor Gets Wet

I have a covered screened in front porch that does get wet with the florida storms and it does get plenty of sun but not enough directly to really dry the porch out quickly.

Covered patio floor gets wet.

Stone brick concrete and ceramic patio tiles sometimes have a common problem during the hot humid months of summer. My porch is soaking wet almost like it rained on the porch with no covering at all. When tiles are not installed properly increased water levels from summer rains can seep upward to the tiles surface. I have the same problem with a covered concrete porch each time it rains.

The condition may occur because of the tiles porous structure. Water it not dripping down from above. When the air vapor cools down and matches the floor temperature condensation forms on the concrete this is also known as concrete sweating. The wall feels dry.

When smooth slabs of concrete are wet it poses additional safety concerns for workers. I am trying to figure out the source of a wet spot that forms on my covered front porch right next to the outside wall of my home pretty much every time it is raining. Safety is a top concern for all businesses. It does this whether there is any wind or not so it has to be something in the concrete causing it.

This started only a few weeks ago and the spot dries up within a day. It just sweats to the point where it s this is a covered concrete porch. I have not found a solution either. And it s like the outside of a glass of cold water.
