" All right Larry and -- with us now from basement systems and Dan you've got the products -- we we've been taking a lots and lots of measures here to kind of waterproof this basement area and misses the latest right this is an underlayment right it is -- It's plastic subfloor. Made specifically for basements. And you know in the basement is very important that we don't have organic material on the floor. Because. We have water vapor coming up through concrete it's porous and we don't want to have mold underneath the floor well traditional thought people would just put down miss queen right over the concrete. And then on top of that you can lay down pressure treated two by three's or two by fours and you good insulating between with a rigid insulation for example and then on top of that you can put up. A regular plywood floor. Why is this a better system. Yeah when there's a couple of problems with live putting this going on the floor and one is that water vapor condenses into water underneath it underneath all of -- that's right and then."

" Another problem is you know. There's the basement they hole underneath a house that's full of life death and one day there's going to be a plumbing. Out of the water will wind up in the basement. And when that wood subfloor gets wet and it's just sitting there saturated."

" We got to keep the wood off of a basement floor OK you've made the point and Dan isn't it I mean it just started in that corner so there's also. The the efficiency of speed and cost involved here right. Right are these fit together. Yeah they they just lock together with teeth and a ship left design and that stops the water vapor. And what we're gonna do afterwards so even though ICF kind of a crack there in the grid. It's interlocking so that it's visual but it's not actual that's right that's right -- Greg doesn't always sir that's correct doesn't go all the way through right. -- others there's room for a little expansion and contraction between each tile another nice thing about this is it only takes up. A half inch of your ceiling height and in a basement that can be precious a very good point yeah. What about the cost is it more cost effective than going the of the old -- It's about the same. -- about the same but you know this is the last subfloor you'll ever have to install in the basement if you do have any kind of a water problem god forbid you can come right down here and lift them up. And again and dried off and figure out what the source was and then you can put them back down there you can't and I have been damaged by -- What I want not affected hell -- and what about is just it's just gonna lay flat on the slab. Yeah usually. On a flat floor if they will lay flat will fasten the perimeter tiles so then when they put tack strips for the carpeting. They're pulling against the tack strip and it -- the carpeting in -- the tack strip is fastened to the tile the tiles fastened to the floor and everything's good at the parameter so it's a three part system. And coating the underlayment the pad and then the carpet. That's right and that of course is gonna muffle any kind of sound that that -- sound concerns that you might have because it is a rigid plastic. Yeah well in this -- This particular case this is an old house -- this floor is wavy gravy I mean it's on relations and clumps and little knobs in the concrete it's got a flat floor so what we're gonna do is we're gonna add some extra fasteners. Where it's necessary. To hold down nice and and then the last question is. Very often people have to go down and buy a dehumidifier even though they've taken all these measures to control moisture. They still feel there's damp in there that's right and the furniture. Is going to get ruined or whatever or mold growth. What do you suggest in terms -- dehumidifying space well."

" He knew dehumidification system that's made for basement environments mostly made of fires are rated at eighty degree. 60% relative humidity. And eighty degrees it's easy to take water out of here because it's cool it a little bit and you get condensation. But in basements we have temperatures that are much cooler maybe 62 degrees 65 degrees -- And we needed dehumidifier that is made for that environment. And here we've installed what we call us in a dry basement air system. And it is 100 pint per day dehumidification system has air filtration built them. It's very energy efficient back its energy star rated. And it will perform very very well in basements that have the cool front thanks Larry. And this underlayment going to be ready for carpet in no time that's right --"
