I am slowly finishing my basement and while working on it the last few days I noticed condensation building up on the gas line and the PVC intake pipe for the furnace. There is enough there that it is dripping on the floor pretty regularly. Tonight I also noticed the main electrical line entering the house has some condensation building up on it also. I'm a little concerned... At this point I don't know if this happens all winter and I've just never noticed it before. Or if this is happening because it's just REALLY cold here in central Ohio right now. What should I do?
I should note that while finishing the basement I put 2" of XPS insulation in the rim joist bays around the entire basement. I also have 1.5" EPS insulation on the walls in all the areas that I am finishing (the EPS ends right near where all of this condensation build up is starting. I don't have drywall up yet so the basement is still all wide open.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks!
