    <title type="text">WaterProof Seam Tape™&lt;br&gt;Product Spotlight</title>
    <summary type="html">&lt;figure style="float: left; width: 250px; max-width: 331px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;"&gt;&lt;img src="/Shared/images/Product/Waterproof-Pro-Seam-Tape/wst-pro-2.jpg" data-image="mw2eb26ntez2" alt="Crawl Space Tape"&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This product, when installed correctly, will give you a water proof seal at the seams. In very wet conditions it is recommended to use the &lt;a title="Foundation Seal Tape™" href="/foundation-seal-tape-for-crawl-spaces" target="_blank" data-mce-href="/foundation-seal-tape/"&gt;Foundation Seal Tape™&lt;/a&gt; under the seam to give an extra layer of protection. This tape is the perfect thickness for this application allowing proper flexibility without sacrificing strength. This is the exact crawl space tape you want for &lt;a href="/types-of-crawl-spaces/encapsulated-crawl-space" target="_blank"&gt;encapsulating your crawl space&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Waterproof Seam Tape™ uses a pressure sensitive adhesive that achieves 100% strength in 15 minutes at 70 degrees F. “Cheaper” tapes are known to release when they come in contact with moisture leaving your crawl space exposed. &lt;strong&gt;Because other tapes are white does not make them the same.&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*This product is Field Tested and the only tape we warranty on our installs.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you save $5 on a roll of tape and it fails, did you save $5?&lt;/strong&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;figure style="float: left; width: 258px; max-width: 258px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;"&gt;&lt;a href="/foundation-seal-tape-for-crawl-spaces" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="/images/product pics/Foundation-Tape-Main.jpg" width="258" height="220" alt="Foundation Seal Tape™" data-image="le3g07ysa4k4"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;figcaption&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Foundation Seal Tape (FST) is used to seal the XMas Tree Fasteners to the foundation wall. When installed to a dry, clean (the concrete must be brushed off to remove loose debris) foundation wall the bond is good enough to hold the SilverBack™ to the wall temporarily (several hours/days) until the &lt;a href="/crawl-space-foundation-pins" target="_blank"&gt;XMas Tree Fasteners&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;are installed. If the foundation wall is wet in the area it will be installed and it will not bond then a &lt;a href="/premium-encapsulation-caulk.aspx" target="_blank" data-mce-href="/premium-polyurethane-caulk"&gt;polyurethane caulk&lt;/a&gt; must be used. This tape is &lt;strong&gt;1.5" x 108'&lt;/strong&gt; and has a reinforcement inside the tape to eliminate stretching like bubble gum. This is important because without the reinforcement this tape is impossible to apply in a crawl space. Most all other tapes on the market, similar to this one, do not have the reinforcement.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The FST™ is in stock and ships immediately.&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;**We always recommend getting a few tubes of Poly Caulk to make sure you have enough material to get a good seal to the foundation and to handle any damp areas on the foundation walls.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Remember when you figure your FST to include going under beam pockets, ductwork that is touching the foundation walls and the access door.

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Foundation Pins™&lt;/strong&gt; are used to permanently secure the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a title="20 Mil SilverBack™" href="/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="/20-mil-silverback/"&gt;vapor barrier&lt;/a&gt; and ALL other liners to the foundation wall. These pins are inserted into a 1/4" hole drilled by a hammer drill. They are to be installed every two foot and are made of heavy gauge white plastic. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These pins come in packs of 100 &amp; 1000 pieces and are required for a lasting bond to the foundation wall. The heads of these pins will not break off nor will the pin come out of the hole as with other pins on the market.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;**Remember to figure enough pins for 1 every 2' and 2 in each corner(one for each wall about 2" out of the corner). It is not necessary to install Foundation Pins in concrete supports (piers), although it won't hurt anything either.
