A while back, i stripped down a basement wall where I was getting water. We managed to stop the water through extensive outside waterproofing and the wall has dried and remains stone-dry for a while now.
Here's the question: I don't really want to take down the 20 ft.-plus of wood framing that is in good condition. But I don't want to just cover up the studs because moisture can still be a problem in the future. Is there any kind of treatment or coating that I can apply to the wood framing to make it withstand any moisture? I'm imagining some kind of spray-on plastic coating that would protect the wood and allow me to go forward on the basement without reframing this wall.
