Found all the products I have used from Crawl Space Repair to be high in quality along with fast shipping and packing. I tackled this job by myself and was still able to accomplish a great job when finished (although a little soar in the joints)and a little more time to finish.....lol. The foundation seal and waterproof seal tapes worked great and had a lot of holding power. I was impressed with the foundation tape as it stuck very well to the cinder blocks after lightly brushing them off. The foundation pins were easy to install and the 1/4 inch holes were surprisingly quick to drill in the cinder blocks. Makes for a neat job and extra holding power for over a longer period of time. The vapor barrier I used was the 12 mm and very strong and was amazingly easy to work with and lay down in sections,even on the walls of the crawl space. Now I have a crawl space that is well lighted and clean with less moisture content. I have even noticed some differences in the temperature of my house. It seems to stay cooler longer in the warmer temperatures,outside, we have been having,which means lower power bills. Been turning the air on in late afternoon and turning it back off in early evening and it stays a comfortable temp inside. We shall see what happens when summer temps come around,but it still should be an improvement.
This tape works exactly as advertised. Sticks well to concrete (as long as it is dry) and really sticks to the vapor barrier. I try to line the vapor barrier up carefully over the tape, press in place and then apply a little 'heat' by rubbing a gloved hand over the area. Almost impossible to get the vapor barrier unstuck after that! I also order extra Foundation tape when I want to double seal a seam: foundation tape between the two layers underneath and seam tape over the top of the joint. Works great for peace of mind in wet areas or those hard to reach places where you never want to wedge your body again!
I used this tape to encapsulate the piers in my crawl space. It stuck very well to the cinder block. I used 6 Mil plastic and it adhered perfectly.
This tape stuck to my walls and allowed easy installation of sheeting on the walls.
I am very happy with the result since we converted a vented space that was a nightmare into one that was actually pleasant to be in. It should pay in utility bill dividends over the next few years.
