I had a plumbing leak that ruined some insulation and drywall. I'm thinking about replacing the fiberglass batts with rigid foam. The way that makes the most sense to me is to attach the foam to the walls and then build a 2x wall in front. The only thing with this approach is that it takes up extra space if I go 2x4. I've seen everything from furring strips to a full 2x4 wall proposed. I was thinking about going with a 2x4 on wide edge.
Absent plumbing leaks, the basement is bone dry. The previous owner put up poly foam up against the cinder blocks and there isn't any evidence that there has ever been any water behind it. Which is impressive, since there should have been water behind it just from condensation.
Anyone got comments about this?
