Basement Waterproofing & Exterior Insulation
I've dug through this forum and haven't found a decent answer here.
I'm looking at getting exterior basement waterproofing done on our 50 year old home as we're renovating the basement. There already has been water leakage in years past through the block walls and it's clearly noticeable, so we're getting that resolved.
My question is if rigid foam insulation can be installed on the exterior of the walls as the basement after the waterproofing is done. I assume the waterproofing has to be done directly onto the concrete, but would rigid foam insulation added on after the waterproofing membrane need to be covered from the elements afterwards? Can it simply be buried when the waterproofing job is done?
I am still having the interior walls insulated with batt insulation, but would it help is it worthwhile to add on insulation on the exterior of the basement walls?
