Question:

I have just bought a new home and there is 6 mil. poly under the wood sole plates along the perimeter of the basement walls. Should I remove this or leave it? I intend to finish the basement in the future.

Answer:

Don't remove it. It's there as protection from the dampness in the concrete.
