When doing your own tile job, first make sure you are using the correct underlayment for the job you are doing.ex. if you are tiling a shower use a mold and moisture resistant cement backerboard or greenboard.

Even if the floor is cement like one of the two houses I had with this problem it will get into the porosity of the cement and forever stink.

What if you built a car port anchored to 4x4 posts cemented into the ground to cover up next to and infront of your garage?

I would take 10 gallons of water to pour down drains and make sure toilets flush.This would make sure the drains have no cement in them.

There are two houses in my neighborhood that have had cement poured in all their windows and doors. i went up to one house and there is a notice that the owner is behind on his payments.

I don't think it would work for really heavy stuff like a ton of cement but for most stuff it worked well.  

We cut out the cement about a foot from the exterior walls.

NO cardboard should be in any crawlspace or basement even in contact with cement floors or walls.

My initial thought is that it sort of ... puts a 180 on our core plan (acquisition) -- now suddenly I'm selling ... but of course, I do believe the MARKET vs. a cemented time line should dictate selling.
