Hey hockeygal, I first had the condensation problem that you are describing, with the water pooling at the bottom in the corners. I called the Concierge back then and they told me that the black strap at the bottom of the insulation has to be firmly and tightly secured to the wall, and that I should use a dehumidifier. So I did, the dehumidifier has been running for about 2 full months now, it has fully dried the basement so that worked.
My issue is that I have a section that is closed off with low head room underneath my stairs, only one side of the wall has water seeping through, and the mustly smell is coming from that area only. I called the Concierge about 20mins ago, and he just inspected the area. He told me that the yellow insulation isn't biological and that mould can't grow there. He said that he doesn't think it is mould, he got the strong musty smell but didn't know where it was coming from. He ripped a section of the plastic off and said to let it dry out, and that I should check it tomorrow to see if the smell is gone. In any case he said that he will add it to my 30 day and have the trades fix/deal with it.
