Basement wall - Plaster fallen off inside the Platon mat
Hello everyone!
I need some guidance... I'm using pellet bags for heating the house. I have the bags placed along one of the outer walls in the boiler room. To prevent the bags from lying directly against that wall, I placed a Platon mat as a spacer. Now that the last bags have been used, I see that it was probably not the best solution. The plaster has fallen off, and there were, what I believe, mold spores on the walls, which I have treated for mold afterward.
What should I do now? I have a lot of bags to carry in, but I want to solve the problem first!
Should I use steel studs, put up plasterboards, leave a gap so that air can circulate?
Have a great day!
Best regards,
M

The moisture from underneath the floor that seeps up into the wall + moisture from outside through the wall must be ventilated away. I would think that if you place the bags a few decimeters from the wall, it would be enough to get air circulation to remove the moisture? Ensure good ventilation in the room and try?
