Hello all,
OK, 3 columns in basement. One of them
has leaking rust spots, 3 of them.
Bottom, middle and towards top,
Is the moisture seeping up from foundation
into center of column?
I live in an area where it floods in the street
about every 10 years. Thanks.


It's extremely unlikely that there's water
coming up the lally columns. I'd
suspect condensation, unless there's
evidence of water damage to the overhead beam.
