Hi there... I'm new to the forum and looking for some help. I have a 2 year old home and I am in the process of finishing the basement. While I was pulling wire for electrical, I noticed water in two corners of the basement on the cement walls. The basement is poured concrete with one daylight wall. The corners that I noticed the water on the outside of the house have a retaining wall made with large rocks that were uncovered during excavation. All other parts of the basement walls are dry. The basement was studded about a 1/2" away from the concrete walls and then the cavities filled with unfaced fiberglass insulation with no vapor barrier. I think the water is coming in because there isn't much soil up against the house in those corners because of the rock retaining walls. What options do I have to prevent water from coming in and causing mold or other damage? Thanks.
