He was right about the 'proper' order of things, if this is a moderate or northern climate, but that presumes that there is no water leaking into the house through the foundatiopn wall. The fact that some builders suggest otherwise suggests therre may be some signs of trouble. But there would be better ways to deal with that kind of leakage than a simple ply of plastic. That kind of water iuntrusion will only get worse and will eventually run onto the floor too. To test, place a few squares of plastic on the conrete walls hither and yonder with duct tape sealing the edges. Leave in olace for a cpouple days and then see if you have water condesed under the plastic, between it and the crete. If so, you need to waterproof the exteriior |
