Hello.. I started the project of finishing my basement. The house is on a hillside so 2 exterior walls are basically above grade. My plan has been to cover the inside walls with plastic then build the framing 1-2" from the wall so there is an air space around the walls. Now that I have the plastic up I am getting condensation inside the plastic, against the wall. I am assuming it may be from the changing outside temperature of the exterior wall and the constant cooler temperature of the basement?? Now I don't really want to leave trapped moisture behind these finished walls. Should I just remove the plastic and let the walls air naturally? (I don't like the thought of that moisture dissipating into the basement) Or should I paint them with a waterproofing product to create a water tight seal? The walls are standard concrete block. Thanks for any insight / suggestions.
