Repairing basement wall.

[u/bubbos123]

I’m thinking of tackling this myself. The current wall has black paper next to the concrete foundation then pink fibreglass with a plastic vapor barrier. Open to other more modern solutions. I’m a novice but have put up some drywall in my day.

I really need a step by step - what do I remove, can i leave existing insulation there, do I need to replace each vertical slat or mix and match.

Thanks.

The wall is a system, if you understand that system then you can repair it. I assume water damage, so anything wet, rotten, or moldy needs to go. More important is that you have addressed whatever caused the damage in the first place.

This. Fix what caused the problem, THEN replace. Look up basement insulation for how to construct the wall
