I recently moved into an old (1920) row home in Baltimore that has recently been renovated. The major work was done by a seemingly experienced contractor, but some of the more recent changes were completed by the homeowner.
One of the "improvements" I'm questioning is the addition of insulation on the basement ceiling as it tapers back from a standing height basement to more of a crawl space height.
I'm worried about the insulation harboring moisture, and plus I think it's installed backwards: the vapor barrier is facing the floor.
Should I rip the insulation out, or just leave it alone?
Thanks in advance.
