I am in the process of redoing my basement making it into a livable space. My question is I live in the Northeast, Connecticut, and the basement in below grade. Do I need a vapor barrier between the cement block wall and the sheetrock?
I will be using insulation between the wall and sheet rock, but have gotten different answers about the vapor barrier.
Some have said with a kraft faced insulation I don't need the vapor barrier, because the vapor barrier will trap moisture. Others have said that you always have to use a vapor barrier.
I was just wondering what the pro's here thought and what was the standard practice.
Thanks
