Hey everyone! I'm new here and looking for some advice. I had a garage built with cinder blocks back in 2020, and it's got a cement beamed roof waterproofed with tarred sheets. Here in Paris, winters just drag on, and my garage doesn't have any insulation, leading to a lot of dampness. I was thinking of installing an extractor fan with 100mm pipes running around the ceiling to suck the air out, controlled by a humidity sensor and a smart plug. I know the ideal solution is to add insulation, but that's not in the budget right now. Any cheap ideas to help keep my garage dry?

I’m not familiar with the specifics of your setup, but I do know that garages without insulation can build up humidity. In my son's metal garage, I installed gable vents on both ends, which allowed for airflow and significantly reduced the dampness. You might want to consider some venting solutions too!
