    To see if damp is coming up through the basement floor take a square of clear plastic and tape it to the floor. Tape all around the outside so no air can get it. Then leave it for a couple of days if the damp is coming up through the floor there will be condensation on the underside of the plastic.

    Chances are the floor is cold and its condensation that is making the floor damp.

    Wake me up when it's all over.
