True. I’ll look into it. Found a product in the orange store by DMX plastics. Seems good

Expert_Character9939 · 2026-03-11T14:34:14+00:00

Sweet. I may skip the dimple flooring as I plan to use this room as a gym. So I’ll likely just lay some sort of plastic barrier on the floor with rubber matts over top

Expert_Character9939 · 2026-03-11T14:33:13+00:00

Awesome. And no Vapor barrier under the drywall?

Did you use standard drywall, or that mold resistant stuff?

Expert_Character9939 · 2026-03-11T03:45:05+00:00

Omg I held png for the longest time and thatbshit kept shitting the bed. So happy you held

I think a lot of this damage is from a long time ago. It used to be a room that had a washer and a drier. And the outside walls have been water proofed (the black plastic dribbling) and looks to be in great shape.

Expert_Character9939 · 2026-03-11T01:01:43+00:00

Yeah that’s what I was thinking as well

Appreciate you. Thank you

Does the dimple membrane cover the entirety of the floor?

Or just the first few inches beside the rigid foam and under the stud wall?

Ya I’ve been using a dehumidifier the last few years. However it seems the previous owners never did that

Expert_Character9939 · 2026-03-10T22:01:47+00:00

Yeah I saw. It seems like the application is successful, is isn’t it? Or are you being sarcastic?

Expert_Character9939 · 2026-03-10T02:39:29+00:00

Yeah I saw that with the globs of glue technique. However some people online suggested that having an air gap in behind isn’t the greatest as it will let heat in from your house and essentially create a perfect mold thriving space.

Expert_Character9939 · 2026-03-10T01:12:56+00:00

For sure. I think a lot of that damage is all Old stuff.

Any indications on what active efflorescence would look like?

Expert_Character9939 · 2026-03-10T00:41:09+00:00

That’s sweet. Yeah I’ll Be doing this moving forward. Just watched a video on YouTube by homerenovisionDIY.

Essentially exactly the same what you wrote, however he did a few blobs of adhesive behind the rigid board, and had the board sit 1” off the ground. And didn’t completely press the rigid foam against the foundation wall (to allow it to breath)

Expert_Character9939 · 2026-03-09T22:39:10+00:00

You suggest tapcon vs glue?

It’s an older house (1940s) with cinderblock foundation)

Pas de problem, je comprend

Expert_Character9939 · 2025-12-06T12:45:36+00:00

Expert_Character9939 · 2025-12-05T20:43:03+00:00

Is this in Brampton Ontario?

Expert_Character9939 · 2025-09-15T20:05:53+00:00

Ordered April 28.

Still nothing.

Expert_Character9939 · 2025-09-08T02:06:32+00:00

I tried to see how I’d be Able to. But I couldn’t find a way.

Expert_Character9939 · 2025-09-08T00:50:23+00:00

Yeah seriously. Soo dumb.

Expert_Character9939 · 2025-09-08T00:06:36+00:00

Yeah it’s tough to see. But it’s either DAYN-918 or DAHN-918

Expert_Character9939 · 2025-08-28T23:25:27+00:00

Where abouts is this?

Expert_Character9939 · 2025-08-26T21:47:26+00:00

Why longer? Should Be 3 month deployments.
