Hello,
We’re converting a newly constructed basement into a finished studio. The foundation was coated on the exterior before it was back filled and we will install sheetrock over furring strips on the inside. Should we put poly over the concrete before we apply the furring strips, or, should we coat the concrete on the inside also? The drainage is good; there is no hydrostatic pressure to speak of. I’m just worried about ambient moisture attacking the 2×4 furring or the rock itself.
Thanks for any and all ideas.

Waht about insulation? The condensation will give you as much moisture problems as leakage might.

You need to read this very carefully and then re-think your plans.
