Hi Everyone,

Our house was completed in the summer of 2006. The basement is partially finished and I noticed some moisture in the corners of the exterior facing walls on the concrete slap. No particular pattern and not any water, just moisture! I opened up the gyproc and found a moisture barrier followed by insulation. When I removed the insulation I found that the back of the insulation was very damp and the foundation wall itself was very cold and damp.

THe builder claims it is normal in a new construction. I would like to finish my basement ,but before I do so I want to make sure there are no issues. Any advice would be appreciated.
