Basement waterproofing importance
Hello all,
Just moved into our second house hack and it has an unfinished basement. Previous owner had already placed insulation on the walls throughout basement. There is definitely no sealer on the inside of the concrete walls as tested with spray bottle. Sealant was applied to exterior walls and can be seen. House is 20 years old. There is no sign of leaks anywhere that I can detect and we have uncharacteristically had several rainy days lately. Wanting to begin framing walls in the basement and wondering if it is worth the hassle of tearing down the insulation and applying sealant to interior walls or not. Any experience, recommendations? We live in the mountains in Colorado (glenwood springs), so decent amount of snow, not much rain usually.
Thanks,
Travis
