I'm still gathering information to make sure I do this right.
In my basement, when we get REALLY heavy rains, and in the spring when all the snow melts, I get moisture on my block walls in the basement, it doesn't run off and get to the floor, but you can see wet spots on the wall itself where water is seeping in.
My plan is to glue 2" rigid insulation to the walls, and tuct tape the seams to create a vapor barrier. Then frame standard 2x4 studs in front of that. Do I need to be worried about that water? I don't want to have mold down there if it can't dry because of the foam boards... Or is that the whole point to the rigid insulation? Would I want to think about the paint on water sealer before the insulation??
Just need some guidance.
