How would you use the DAP smart bond on existing flooring? More specifically existing flooring that squeaks. Is there a way to inject the foam in between the joist and the sub flooring to prevent squeaking? Has anyone tried using a vacuum on one side of the joist to pull the foam through the space between the joist and the subfloor?
You have great videos Matt. Very informative. I live in east Tennessee and im going to build a small house. The land where the house will be, has a slope to it. So half of my basement will be underground. How would you recommend sealing the concrete block and what products would you use? Thanks a lot. Keep up the great work.
I would HIGHLY recommend you use a sheet applied below grade waterproofing memberane on top of the block prior to backfill. Cosella Dorkin and Carlisle both make great products for that application. Then be sure to do a dimple mat against the waterproofing with a good drainable fill and a french drain at the bottom to daylight. You've only got one shot to do this right. It's 20x the cost if you have a problem later. Best, Matt
Thanks a lot Matt. Would I have to seal the block, before the memberane, or apply the memberane directly to the block? And how would the memberane stop at the brick ledge? Would my tyvek come down and cover my brick ledge? Thanks again!
Kevin Bartley I would suggest getting a basement waterproofing contractor to walk you through the steps. Your foundation engineer will also likely be knowledgable in this area to detail the waterproofing. You might also contact Cosella Dorkin or Tremco or Polyguard directly to see if their tech guys have assemblies using their products that are detailed. Best, Matt
Thanks Matt. Those sound like good suggestions. I will see if i can find a waterproofing contractor. If not, will call Cosella Dorkin or Tremco or Polyguard. I really appriciate you taking the time to respond to me. Have a great weekend!
Im building a 10 by 8 shed for a small gym do you think 3/4 inch plywood would work if i spaced the joist 12 inches apart or should i just get 1-1/8 its gonna hold about 700 pounds
I have a piece of advantech that was used as a concrete form and is 14 years old and is outside and is still usable today for flooring,amazing!
Matt, when you say you use nails are they ring shank? And what spacing are you using on your engineered floor joists with the 1 and an 8th Advantec
I was curious why you wouldn't want to use screws when doing a sub floor, is there a benefit to using nails or is it just to save time?
Gavin Walsh screws are more expensive than nails. also additional labor in fastening with screws.
@@PaddyMcNubbington All true, but scews don't back out and cause squeking down the road. It's all preferance I guess.
@@brtlonghorn Screws are for smart forward thinking folks.

If I am adding plywood underlay on top of subfloors that’s 3/4 inch planks. Would you recommend using the foam to bond the plywood on subfloor planks
where do buy foam can of dap like you used in this video????

Is 5-6 years really all it takes for squeaks that would squeak to develop?
Teacher tell me what is the thickness of that plywood
Really good advice. I want to try that advantech.
You rock! Amazing advice and this is what i am looking for
How thick is your subfloor?
I would love for your team to build my upcoming home. Do you build outside the Austin area?
I'm sorry but we don't. Best, Matt
Is OsB Durable against water
Still good advice in 2021...
The trusses that have wood flanges and steel web members are fine products, but incredibly difficult to repair.
Your link to the blog is dead.
Thanks I got that fixed.
I have a question my friend!!!
So with the DAP, no screw or nail? Just foam adhesive?
Sounds like a lot of marketing which pays you so you don't have to build anything.
Thanks for the infomercial. I’ll make sure NOT TO BUY THAT PRODUCT
This is the dumbest advice ever never use glue
Why?
Yeah, why?
Yeah. Why? \: \
Yeah. Why? \: \
We're debating whether to use glue could u explain
Could you send an email?
