Insulating Old Cinder Block Walls (CMU) The RIGHT Way

Old walls built from concrete masonry units, also known as CMUs or "cinder blocks", can be difficult to insulate properly. Ungrouted cells can accumulate water if the block wall is exposed and unprotected. Insulating the interior of a concrete block wall can cause moisture problems, as insulation slows heat flow and reduces the drying potential of the wall assembly. This can keep the wall assembly wet for a longer period of time, which can lead to mold and rot in the interior framing and finishes. In this video, we will discuss strategies for properly insulating your old concrete block walls from the interior while keeping them dry and durable.
