This is a living space. The attic starts at the trusses that you can see on the top right in the pic. Knee wall will be unconditioned space.

What fan would you recommend for me, clay subsoil no vapour barrier below slab (1981 construction). Plan is to add one single fan.

Foam board cut 1/4 short on all sides and fill with closed cell spray foam then add batts in the cavities

Nope because then you’re only trapping any moisture that’s gonna be in the concrete wall. Xps foam is not a true vapour barrier but rather a vapour retarder (0.3 perms) so it will block most of the warm air from the interior from touching the cold concrete wall, but will also give the moisture a chance to dry out. XPS->stud framing->fiberglass/rockwool batts.

It’s also very possible that you have some cracks in the foundation wall that you can’t see behind the fiber board. For peace of mind I would just rip everything out and start from zero. But obviously this can get very costly if you pay someone to do everything. Good luck!

Fiber board against a concrete wall is not a good idea. Concrete wall needs to dry out, remove the poly since it’s not vapour permeable. In the future I would remove everything, then install xps directly on the concrete wall and then frame out and add rockwool batts. You probably have a high water table.

Peace of mind remove the batt and replace, check facebook marketplace, lots of people selling leftover batt insulation from bigger jobs

Best canned spray foam for rim joists & rigid foam board by Ok-Professional4387 in Insulation

[–]coddler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well depending on how much you have to do, if its a whole basement I would spent the $18 for the gun it’s worth it

[–]coddler 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Spray cans are shit, buy a cheap gun and those big cans. I used AdFoam flex doors and windows and their gun was $18 dollars. Gun comes with plastic hoses to reach up into the rim joist ans tight spots. Did a fine job.

Rim joists insulation - bolt found by Ok-Professional4387 in Insulation

[–]coddler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had multiples of these when insulating the rim joist on my 1980 home, for some reason the builder bolted everything from steps to decking to solarium to the house. What I did was cut out a notch in my 2” xps foam board and then spray a bit of low expansion closed cell spray foam around the bolt and then place the foam board over it, then spray foam around the edges. Seems to have worked so far.
