In a perfectly dry basement that has little to no chance of water I seal it. If the basement has a chance of water I leave it unsealed so water can get out in the event you have some type of flooding event. Jared – It really depends on the situation.

I will tape the vertical joints between foam boards as you suggest. I will be framing a wall in front of the foam board.
