I'm curious whether or not you put a vapor barrier down before pouring concrete?

And when you say insulated, did you do rigid foam sheets under the concrete?

Also wondering how long the concrete has been there.

I agree with what others have said - a wood stove will dry it out no matter how wet it is.
Of course, that only helps during what are usually pretty dry months anyways.

Ventilation is the most important factor. Simply put, you need to get the wet air out, and drier air in.

And of course, with ventilation, you can only get as dry as the outside air allows.

So if you want to be totally dry all the time, you need to get fancy with some kind of climate control system.
