So now you’re saying that every home needs an interior (under the floor) drain, exterior drainage AND a material applied to the interior (cracks/joints)? What about all surfaces left unsealed and still susceptible to moisture vapor drive? I know that this is your answer to:
“those folks who have water that can accumulate under floor and then rise UP through any OPENING/Crack in floor should FIRST, determine if there is a blockage UNDER the floor by, having an honest-Exp Plumber snake Under the floor, through storm trap etc”
You’re assuming that every home has drains under the floor and that everyone wants them.
You said it yourself “thats right, drain tiles inside or outside will NOT/cannot eliminate all water-moisture that IS under basement floors and on the Outside-along-against basement walls”.
You have only proved that all floors are still left susceptible with or without drains (interior and/or exterior). Drains can’t stop vapor drive. You can not rule out moisture because even garage floors – slab on grade suffer from moisture vapor drive which delaminates other coatings even more so below grade or is this a lie?
Now you’re being ridiculous and still haven’t proven anything. You must have way too much time on your hands to think that the top of a block wall is a CRITICAL and SERVERE problem in every home on the planet. This location is typically above grade and you’re trying to think way too hard. You’re forgetting about deathly high radon levels 155.3 which Sani-Tred has reduced to 0.2 which are way below safe levels. This specific example – the customer left an open pit! He didn’t have to, but he did. Just another Sani-Tred success story. There is not one example of a home which their radon problem hasn’t been brought to below safe levels. You’re still reaching. Sani-Tred products work regardless of your opinions and desperate attempts. You’re still beating a brick wall there …
Ever heard of ‘closed cell foam’? This for instance could easily be easily squirted into the block if desired. This is flotation foam which is impervious to water and grows many many times its size. A little bit goes a long way. It’s not concrete, but hollow block walls never were the best building material, wouldn’t you agree?
This being your ONLY instance as a ‘weak link’ proves to be a weak and desperate one considering your best efforts still leave your customers with the majority of the square footage susceptible - the floor. You can’t say that not a single molecule of water, moisture, vapor or even problem radon can’t enter after you’re gone.
You’re stuck on hollow block walls and that proves you’re on thin ice and running out of circumstances.
Bugs? Come on… People call us for a positive waterproofing solution and you continue to talk about bugs. Honestly, not one single customer in over 20 years ever asked us about bug-proofing, but 100% of them expressed their earnest desire to eliminate all water, moisture and or problem radon. You make it sound like we say “a new paint job on your car will stop engine failure”.
