You suggested a poster hang himself. You really are a very nasty piece of work.

My bungalow is 1960’s, and is direct to the earth below the floorboards.
Subsequently, I sometimes get some damp below the floorboards.
Not really an issue in winter when the central heating kicks in nicely, but, in the summer more of an issue as the kitchen especially smells of damp.
Expensive solution is to get floorboards ripped out, get a firm to concrete etc, but, is there any type of underfloor heating, or underfloor dehumidification, permanently installed quiet dehumidifier etc that I could investigate? Currently using B&Q’s finest dehumidifier but noisy and a PITA to empty every day!
Cheers.
My house is a similar construction, mid 60's bungalow with a crawl space/soil/ground under the floor boards. Even though I live in one of the wettest parts of the country there has never been a damp smell except just after the bathroom was redone and a pipe started leaking.

Try burning them in the back garden, in a big pile of leaves and fallen branches (works best in the autumn)

Is Wilmslow trying to bury something under the floorboards and asks how to concrete them better?

Originally posted by zeitghostI'm wondering just how much of that lovely cavity wall insulation stuff ended up under the floor.
I'm convinced they didn't bother sleeving the air vents for the ground floor.
I suppose I shall have to investigate myself.
Going to get a quiet decent brand demumidifier and put on 24/7 continuous drain for now, and consider taking it off once central heating territory kicks back in.

PS Perhaps you could grow psychogenic mushrooms down there.
