Spray Foam Insulation

Where NOT to use it -

Closed cell spray foam is a great product for sealing out every little air leak. But, it will hinder your ability to inspect the structure if it is installed in the rim (band) joist area of the crawl space. This issue will come into play when selling a home or getting a termite inspection.

The DrySpace™ Vapor Barrier

DrySpace™ is a high strength, fiber reinforced polyethylene crawl space vapor barrier. It boasts a thick 5 layer construction that delivers year round protection from moisture, odor and Radon Gas. Our crawl space vapor barriers are made from high quality virgin materials and are built to last the in the harsh crawl space environment. The Foundation Seal Tape provides a lasting bond between the DrySpace™ and the foundation wall and prevents moisture from seeping around this bond which is critical to moisture control. The final piece to this unique system is the Foundation Pins, which give additional mechanical support to the DrySpace™ vapor barrier insuring long lasting moisture protection.

Our Instadry Sump Kit was designed to use a FULL size Radon Approved sump basin. By not using a mini basin you will have no worries about your sump pump short cycling and burning up, this will insure many years of reliable service. The sump pump itself is the Zoeller model M-53, capable of moving spherical solids of up to ½” and pumping 45 gallons of water per minute. This makes it perfect for the sub-vapor barrier condition in a crawl space.

Looking a little closer…

Our Radon Approved basin has small holes drilled in the sides to control ground water before it reaches the surface. The basin is buried in 4” of pea stone to filter out the dirt so the only thing leaving your crawl space is water.

DrySpace™ is used as a vapor barrier on the floors and walls of dirt and concrete crawl spaces. The seams are taped and it is sealed and fastened to the foundation to prevent moisture from entering the crawl space. This crawl space vapor barrier is superior to the average visqueen plastic that can be bought at any home improvement store because it has a polyester fiber reinforcement that makes the durability unbeatable and it is made from virgin polyethylene resins for the longest service live available. This will be the only vapor barrier you will need to install in your crawl space.
