Insulation direct contact with basement wall? Been watching a lot of videos trying to figure out best technique and I thought you’d want plastic put up somewhere to make it sit tight? Just trying to learn to be able to do it myself and not rip it all out in 5 years for mold problems. Open to all concepts just asking. Thanks love the time lapse though great being able to see the steps through out. Good job
@@odellconstructioninc I put rubber coating on exterior of wall as well as two inch insulation board. French drain was also installed around perimeter. Home sits on top of a hill of almost nothing but sand so we never have standing water anywhere. Was. Going to do a plastic piece on wall and duct tape it there for a week see what happens is that what you mean by making sure it’s waterproofed?
@@nickm.1238 I'm sure that's what he means. Sounds like you did it right. My understanding is that you want a small "airway" between the wall and insulation for air/moisture to escape. Also, dimpled subfloor for the same reasons - moisture coming up can move through the floor and up the walls to dissipate.
Good work 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!
What drop ceiling tile and framing did you use?

Before doing any work in your basement you will need to make sure it is properly waterproofed to avoid mold problems.

Nice work. DId you put a subfloor. before teh flooring? Also what kind of floor was that, LVP or Laminate?
May be not.
We used an LVP for the flooring. I would have to confirm with our project manager in terms of the prep for the basement floor.
