I noticed today that when I started working on the vapour barrier in the basement, the insulation was wet on the backside where it is near the black barrier against the concrete. When I took it out, I noticed what I consider is allot of dampness on both sides of the black barrier that rests up against the concrete. Is it normal to have allot of wetness on this black barrier ? As well, the concrete is very wet as well on the other side of the black barrier and on top of the black barrier area. Is there suppose to be dampness on the barrier and the concrete or is it suppose to be dry? I'm trying to find out if something is wrong or not before I finish vapour barrier and start drywall. It's a standard 2 storey house in Ottawa, Ontario. Thanks much.
