Basement weatherization and interior moisture management.

Please share your favorite products, ideas and links for managing basement moisture intrusion before weatherizing.  I'm not looking for info on exterior water management solutions.  I'd love to hear your thoughts.  Thanks.

So Kris:

It looks like there is a lot of information here. So did you hear what you wanted or do we need to keep going :)?
Hello again Allen;

Submitted my earlier comment before making time to review the web site you recommended, and must say, the text and graphics are some of the best I've seen in regard to clearly and simply laying out for a homeowner what they need to know about wet basements. Along with the excellent link Robert Post provided, a homeowner should end up well informed on the issue, and as I'm sure we all agree, working with a knowledgable client is always the way to go. How many time have we had to deal with suspicious, ignorant (and I mean that in the nicest way ;-) folks who are dealing with an unfamiliar subject and fear being taken advantage of?

Thanks again for the 411. Just stop yelling (unless you feel it's absolutely necessary :-).
SORRY about that. I had caps on lock, (which is why I started with a small i), just didn't erase and start over.
Any way; we are all here to share experience and knowledge. You got the one bit that I will probably ever have to share.Hope to keep reading your posts.
