I went into my basement and saw that there was condensation dripping from the spot where the pipes enter my basement from the loop field. This happened around this time last year, and the installer came out and basically added a TON of the insulating wrap at that point and it seemed to fix it. But this year it is doing it again. It's not a ton of water, but it's enough to give me concern about this happening once I finish the basement. This is a conditioned basement, but is probably around 60 degrees or so. I've attached a picture. https://goo.gl/photos/wB8HJFZkJ2Tbvaf27 Why might this be occurring at this time of the year specifically? I'm in upstate NY, so the heat is still running like it has been all winter. Is there a reliable fix for this? Luckily there has been no dripping from where it runs across the ceiling to the heat pump, but who's to say it couldn't in the future?

Probably just higher humidity in the basement. This time of year the ground loops are at their lowest temperature.

I have to run a dehumidifier in the basement even in the winter.

Yeah I knew it wasn't anything problematic like an actual leak, but I was hoping there might be a better way to definitively prevent it from happening in the future. I have a pretty big basement so I think I'd need a large dehumidifier to make a difference. Then again, once I finish the basement and warm it up down there a bit, that could make a difference too.

wrap the pipes with insulation. this will solve the problem

There's already a ton of insulation and insulation tape all over the area. But I suppose I could wrap some more!

Make sure they are insulated and air sealed. Insulation doesn't do much good if air can flow through it.

Get a few rolls of foil backed frost king insulation at the big box hardware store. Ensure the foil is adequately overlapped to prevent moist air getting in.
