Question of the Week:

Donna Writes, "I am currently adding an addition to the back of my home. I recently discovered that when the masons poured the concrete slab for the foundation, they removed the Visqueen plastic vapor barrier.

So now I'm looking for suggestions to fix the problem? I live in Florida and moisture is a big problem.

Should I insist that the masons re-do the foundation or are there other solutions to guarantee I will not have a moisture and mold issue in the future?

Please help. I am so frustrated right now."
