Basement remodel moisture risk?

[Barrierbuilder]

So, I redid my basement and used foam insulation on the walls. Now I'm wondering if I should be worried about moisture. What are some tools I can use or signs I should look for to make sure things are okay?

bro @Barrierbuilder, foam insulation is great, but it can hide moisture issues if you're not careful.
The best tool for this is a pinless moisture meter. It's a handheld device that you just press against the drywall, and it can read the moisture content behind it without making a single hole.
It's an easy and non destructive way to get a quick check. You can get one at most home improvement stores.
You'll also want to get a cheap humidity monitor for the room to keep an eye on the overall air moisture levels

Nice question but I have a quick one, anyone dealt with foam insulation in basements before? what methods have you used to check for moisture issues? and what foam did you use

yeah, it's important to monitor the moisture ofc. you can if there are any musty odors, any mold or mildew, or waterstain/discoloration
