Hi
We have moisture damage on the inside of an exterior wall in the basement. The plaster has become discolored, feels wet, and has also come loose in many places. I have started to remove the plaster, but underneath there is a fiberglass mesh that is very firmly attached. I am thinking of replastering or painting the concrete after the wall has dried, but I'm wondering if the fiberglass mesh also needs to be removed to speed up the drying of the wall? The house was drained in January this year, and we have been told that it is existing moisture (i.e., moisture that was present before the drainage) that is being drawn indoors due to the summer heat. Could this be true?
Hi!
I have the same problem as you do, but without fiberglass fabric, picture.
I was thinking of applying gypsum plaster and placing renovation gypsum in front to get a nice wall.
I read another thread about someone who had to take down gypsum because it started to mold.
In that case, it doesn't seem like a good idea.
Does anyone know more about this?
I assume that re-draining is the real solution, but if you don't want to do that, is there a shortcut?
Best regards, Johan
