Got a house built in the Mid 1800's and it has wide baseboard moulding in all the rooms. 6 inch wide wood baseboard. problem is around one section of baseboard that is on the wall to the left of the front door. For some reason, about 5 to 6 inch length of that moulding is causing the drywall from where it meets the Baseboard , up about 7 to 8 inches to become dripping wet with moisture. I have caulked the Baseboard where it meets the floor , but still getting wet.
I know that section of the house does not have any insulation in the walls. I checked the outside vinyl siding , and all seems good.
Thinking of cutting out a 12 " x 12" section and spraying some of that spray foam insulation in the wall where the moisture is and then replacing that 12 x 12 section with new drywall.
Would spray foam like GREAT STUFF , stop the moisture problem ?
Thanks,
Clarence.
