Cement house and paint?

Where I live houses are made completely out of cement blocks including interior walls. The problem is that there seems to be a lot of moisture in the walls. Many people end up with paint peeling off the wall about 6 inches above the baseboards. If there is a shower, toilet, sink on the other side then the entire area may have paint peeling problem. It isn't about broken pipes just condensation.


Is there some kind of sealer than can be put on the cement blocks first? Should the water pipes be insulated?


Do you know a possible solution?Cement house and paint?
Yes they make a sealer for the block before you paint, but you can also use epoxy paint it seals it also. Yes the pipes should have been insulated . Blocks are porous and they are required by code to seal them from the outside, so you may want to check the outside of the house and try to keep the water from coming in.Cement house and paint?
