Try muriatic acid if you cannot scrub it off with a coarse sponge/brush. Follow with an acetone wash.  Definitely find the water source…perhaps seal it up.

You have to find the soource of the moisture. It looks like this may be surface water puddling on the surface. I would go back when it is raining and see if water is puddling.

 

You should be able to remove it with a good slightly acidic product

Moisture test would be appropriate. Prosoco has some excellent products for this
