The brick seems to have cracks in some of joints, and was recently sprayed for mold after I had some work done. I am looking to frame a room up, and am curious what the best type of insulation would be, and if there is anything else I need to do to prepare the wall for this. As far as I can see there is not a major water issue it is just a very old basement. I have a house that is around 90 years old.

Some of the foams will work with no problem while others may experience some chemical limitations. James – I think it really depends on the type of foam that’s being used.

It is hard to tell from Greg's pics, but I would assume that you kept at least an inch so the spray foam could provide a barrier between the foundation and the studs.
