Hi all I’m located in ma. I just had a drain tile and sump pump installed yesterday. I’m going to be finishing my basement and it has always been humid and damp. Water would run through certain openings in the mortar during bad rain storms and cause puddles but otherwise just the walls would be damp.

I was expecting water to come draining out of the weep holes but this wasn’t the case and the sump pit is dry. Is this normal? Also the floors seem to be more damp. Is this from the concrete curing?

I’m going to be getting an interior French drain and sump pump done. The quote includes a 4mm vapor barrier on the walls.

We’re going to be finishing the space. Should I skip the vapor barrier and do spray foam, can I spray foam over the vapor barrier or should I do rigid board? I’m in Massachusetts
