If you are 'begining to have a dampness problem', something has
changed.
What changed?
What kind of 'dampness problem' is there?

Installing a vapor barrier will reduce the amount of moisture rising
from the earth.
It will not solve a high water table or surface run-off.
Siding within 2" of grade with a flat yard is not a good idea.

I can't be sure but there is a growing mold problem as well. Not too bad
but increasing very slowly over the 20 years that we've been here. The
downspouts have been in the same location since day one. Something in the
subsoil perhaps.
