You better rip that insulation off and do the job right as you risk a
breeding ground for dangerous molds that can and do kill people.
You should have had a layer of polyethylene on top of the concrete block to
form an impervious barrier before the insulation was applied to the surface.
You leave the condition at your own risk. Furthermore, the states are
getting serious about laws that had to be created because there were and are
guys like you that are a.) cheap and wanted to save alousy twenty bucks on a
roll of poly , b.) ignorant and didn't know better or c.) assholes who will
leave the job unfinished anyway as-is and try to pass it off to a buyer.
If you are the latter I do hope you get the stick shoved up your ass by the
home inspectors when you get caught trying to pass this on to a buyer as
this condition does get worse and it does get people ill and it can and has
and will result in death. Condensation in between insulation is a breeding
ground for mold and mold is nothing to fuck around with.
