    Great job. This video shows the correct way to to build a basement from 1984. No amount of incense burning will be able to hide that damp, musty smell once the the wood and insulation start to wick moisture through the concrete. People, use sill gasket and PT lumber for your bottom plate if going directly over concrete. Install 2" ridged foam on the concrete walls so your studs are never in contact with a porous material. We knew this back in 2010 - not sure why this video was even produced.

    Nice video fellows. In our basement...we refered as "The weeping walls." We framed it out then stapled heavy plastic to these boards. Once the framing was up we applied the insulation then the dry wall. After 7 years we refer it as Dry Wall, no more weeping walls, no mold, no moisture seepage on the floor. etc. By the way we didn't apply for a permit...we also built a large, no power shed with without a permit. 10 years and it is still standing!

    @Coyote-wm5op 6 років тому

    So I had a family member argue with me about this project in my basement. There are MANY different ways to do this and there’s pros and cons to each method it seems. I have a block wall foundation and decided to do it this way with stud framing and putting rolled insulation between the suds and wiring in outlets. My family member argued with me to get 1x3” furring strips and drilling them into the block wall, putting insulation board between all the furring strips and leaving about six inches from the floor in case it gets wet. The problems I see with doing it their way is the insulation board will be more expensive AND less effective, you can’t wire in outlets, drilling concrete block that many times is more work and a pain, and will look very tacky with a gap six inches off the ground.

  • @brucek.evans-historian7028
    @brucek.evans-historian7028 10 років тому +12

    The information he is going to need is: A) How do I get the black mold filled insulation back out and thrown away six months from now? B) What to I do when the floor heaves and bows my upper floor because we nailed the wall tight with no gap (even shimmed it to insure contact)? Is it too late to put down the Trex plate under the wall so moisture cannot wick up into the bottom plate (which should be pressure treated)? Can we insulate the rim joists from the outside, or should we just wait until we tear out the walls to get rid of the mold and do them then?
    A few rolls of Delta FL would go along way on the floor too Chuck to keep out the moisture--and you can build your walls right on it, no need for Trex or pressure treated (walls cannot be load bearing). Please stick to the compressed air CH, you do that well, but this job was a disaster...

    • @GumbootZone
      @GumbootZone 6 років тому

      I agree about the gap at the top of the wall. A lot of people think it needs to be shimmed tight like this video. No! I always make the wall quarter to half inch short. The nails easily bridge that gap and the wall is perfectly secure.

    • @metallitech

      Some good points, except it's amazing to me that you think that the floor is going to move relative to the concrete wall a couple of inches away.

    • @digibluh
      @digibluh 2 роки тому

      problem with delta MS is the moisture stays under that and can build up mold on the basement floor anyway and cause musty smell even worse. normally you have enough gap for it to air out, but unless you do a calcium chloride test you'll never know if it's going to work as you expect. second problem is if there's a leak you won't know about it.

  • @SirJer
    @SirJer 7 років тому +7

    some major issues here. first of all, you need a vapour barrier between the sole plate and the concrete or else that wood is going to mold. Also, batten insulation is a no-no in a concert basement, it's going to be mold city, you need to use vapour barrier at minimum but better would be closed cell Styrofoam. you need Styrofoam insulation on the top concrete sill too.

    @midlantic1 12 років тому +1

    One question regarding moisture and possible future mold concerns. I've been told there should be a few inches left between the back of the stud and the masonary wall to allow some air movement to avoid a moisture. Also, what's the code say about vapor plastic barriers? Does the paper backed insulation cover that issue. Another school of thought is to use the non paper backed insulation. Whats your opinion on that?

    Use bridging across joists. So if a top plate lands parallel to and between joists first nail several 2 x 4's perpendicular to the joist so that they bridge or connect the 2 joist (about every 24"). Then you can fasten the top plate to the 2 x 4. Also use steel studs instead of wood and ridged foam board instead of fiberglass insulation.
