It was humid today here in Austin, TX. Trace of rain and the slab is darker in several spots, no puddles, just darker because of the moisture. The back of the slab is about 3 feet from the ground. The slab was fine yesterday, but not rain today, just plain humid. The slab weeps like this maybe 5-10 times a year.

If I install porcelain tile over this slab, with the moisture transfer to the tile as well? Would I be better off to install Ditra in this case to limit the weeping?

The slab is 20 years old and the PO did the work, so, who knows what was done. Live outside of Austin so probably not up to code back in the 90's in Hays County.

Thanks for the advice,
