Great video and thanks for landscape fabric tip. TY for sharing. Ideally, Delta-FL / OSB T&G is installed onto slab before non-load bearing walls are built. Then, for exterior walls, frame them ~1" from the foundation wall and create vapor barrier with closed-cell spray foam. This method provides an ideal transition from the subfloor underlayment to the poured concrete foundation wall.

We attempted to level them about 12 years ago and made it worse. Since then, it’s been a hurry up and wait, trying to find the answer. I think your video could be the right answer since it appears to be forgiving and affordable. We live in NW Florida with LOTS of humidity and rain and have an inground pool. Do you think this would be a feasible option for us!!??

I used Delta FL on the basement subfloor I designed 9 years ago. The Delta FL installation specs say do as you are doing here, and put the plywood directly on top of that. I did something a bit different. Mike Holmes goes on about the benefits of a thermal break. He installs rigid foam direct to the concrete. That's going to sweat, as concrete lets moisture come up as well as go down. Hence the need for the Delta FL. But on top of that, you'll get a vastly better floor if you install a thermal break. I put in 1" codeboard. That's R5 all over the floor. The thermal break works to keep a very stable temperature in your basement. It will cost more than what you're doing here, but the end result will be a floor that's so much nicer to have your feet on. And it will give you savings on your heating. If your basement is properly insulated, you'll go from sitting on top of a cold space in the main house, to sitting over a warm space. It turns out to be integral to the house's temperature and your bank balance.

Vic da G hey there, the order of the flooring is a subfloor like the delta, or dmx roll out stuff, then 1"of closed cell foam board, then the plywood subfloor. You can even do a tongue and groove floating subfloor and have the pieces connected with small strapping on the edges. Then frame in the basement walls and it'll keep everything from ever shifting. Now you've got a fully sealed vapor barrier without a million holes in it for tapcon screws. You've got a nice thermal break and energy saving floor and a dry and warm basement.

Yeah, excellent video. Well done. I will use this system on a basement I am doing right now. Great notes in the title section as well.

That's great to hear! I will be uploading more content soon. I appreciate that you hit the sub button. If you ever have any questions let me know.

There is an addendum to this though. A few weeks ago we had a small basement flood. The ground was saturated and it rained all night. We came down in the morning and there was a bit of water just on the surface of the laminate flooring. We ran an emergency pump out of the window, but the damage was already done. The laminate was cupping by the afternoon and it was so not going to be ok. Water in every single Delta FL pocket, filling up past my thermal break, through the plywood seams. All has been ripped out and is a big insurance job now. The difficulty I face is we laid our great big beautiful subfloor first and then built walls. Now we have to rebuild under those walls. My recommendation, following this experience is to build walls first, then do Delta. I don't know if there is a sacrificial product that can go on the concrete level, but I'd be looking for one and then put the bottom plate of the wall on top of that. Could composite wood material work? Is anyone using this method of construction? What's needed is something impervious to water to give you a couple of inches grace before water hits the wall framing. Then Delta all internal floor spaces and seal, thermal break, 5/8" T&G plywood. Would you save the floor if you used marine ply? If someone hasn't already designed a system for this, I don't know why. 3M, Corning, I'm looking at you awesome ideas generators. PS As a preventive measure, we also installed a second sump line on full strength sump pump, plus a battery backup unit with alarm in case of all round power failure.

@simpsonpropertiesltd

LadyDMcollector thanks for sharing your experience. I framed my walls first before installing the Delta-FL. I used BluWood (mold/mildew/insect resistant) for the bottom plate. I staple FoamSealR Sill Gasket (made by Owens Corning) to the bottom of the base plate. This way the wood is not in direct contact with the concrete slab.

@LetsDoMath

7 жыл бұрын

The BluWood sounds good for the bottom plate. We didn't use that (not aware of its like in Canada), just regular construction grade pine. Can BluWood withstand a flooded basement situation? Insurance companies are whizzbang about ripping out your basement installation, I notice. I absolutely loved the codeboard thermal break between the Delta and the plywood. Can't wait to reinstate that. I think we're going to have to use spray foam under the bottom plate to the wall, since the tear-out crew damaged my codeboard on the wall under the walls. So... next time I design a basement build, I'll be thinking about how I can refit in case there's a flood, AS WELL as installing multiple sump pumps and backups. Sigh. Good for you, putting up a no-nonsense film. Nice job.

Hey man, thanks for this video, I'm going with this technique with the added 1" rigid foam insulation on top of the Delta FL. I have a question for you, I've had some moisture issues in my basement and aside from digging around the house and installing a better drain system and gravel, a contractor told me I should also seal all the basement floors with redguard to keep moisture out. That's like an extra $1K and am wondering if that wouldn't only create more problems down the line with the concrete not being able to breathe.

@simpsonpropertiesltd

7 жыл бұрын

Zak Dylan Wass Zak Dylan Wass thanks Zak! I would recommend that you address any moisture problems and waterproof your foundation prior to installing the subfloor. Excavating around the perimeter of your home, fixing any cracks, installing new weepers and foundation wrap is the best way to address the problem. A cheaper alternative is to do an interior French drain system but addressing the problem from the outside is the best. The only time I have heard of waterproofing products being used on the concrete pad is due to hydrostatic water pressure. Any cracks in the concrete surface were chipped clean and K7 Waterplug was applied. It has a compressive strength of 5,500 psi after 28 days. Then a coat of Terraco Weathercoat 571 was applied. It's a waterproof coating suitable for concrete, masonry and plaster. I believe Redguard is designed for waterproofing wet areas such as a shower. You would have to check the product specs to see if it's rated for reducing hydrostatic water pressure. I don't think it's design for foundation repair. Once again, if possible you want to address any moisture problems from the outside.

Great video and very informative, but I have one Question: In your tutorial here, you stated that the manufacturer recommends low expansion foam at the edges, but instead you used the tuck tape to seal it down to create the vapour barrier. I was told by the manufacturer that you don't tape down the edges, because that 1/4'' gap is for the moisture to escape. Could you clarify the reason why you taped the edges? Also, they say leave a 1/4" for the DMX from the drywall, do you do the same for the OSB on top? I'm about to do my basement floors and I want to make sure I"m doing the right thing. Thanks.

@simpsonpropertiesltd

5 жыл бұрын

Thanks! Just to clarify I used Delta-FL in this tutorial not DMX. I used tuck tape on the perimeter to maintain the vapor barrier. The slab conditions were typical so I’m not concerned about excess moisture beneath the subfloor. The main purpose of this subfloor is to provide separation between your finished floor and the concrete slab. The way I look at it is when you’re installing vapor barrier on a wall you don’t leave the perimeter with no seal so the wall “can breathe”. Ultimately the choice is up to you. This is the Cosella Dorken tech support line I use if you’re interested: 1 (888) 433-5824

I just removed laminate as there was mold smell coming from foam film that was put directly on concrete. I like Delta-FL idea but not sure about landscape fabric. Can it spread mold grows?

The landscape fabric is designed to be buried in soil and not break down from exposure to the elements. You won't have any issues with the landscape fabric growing mold. You can skip that step and not use it but then there is a chance of hearing that hallow sound.

Thank you!

if you use the gun for the foam, it actually controls it pretty well. Does not make a mess at all and the bead is very controlled. I have one and probably would do it that way

In the UK we call this product / method "tanking". That's what you should search for if you are interested in doing this over here. Great vid btw!

Thanks for leaving a comment. You're install should go smoothly tomorrow and good choice on your subfloor materials. To keep updated with my new videos in the future make sure to subscribe to my channel.

This is an excellent technique, differences .. use ZIP flashing tape especially on perimeter. Use tyvek then fabric over the concrete. And 23/32 tongue groove OSB, and glue the joints.

No problem. I’m glad you enjoyed the video.

Thanks for the great video! We just finished 730 sqft basement and built the entire subfloor the same way your video describes. Our basement is very dry and the sump pump rarely ever runs. Only difference is that we are going to do our framing on top of the subfloor and we taped the Delta FL to our rigid foam installation instead of the walls. We will frame next and add Roxul R14 batts for total of R20 insulation. Took your advice with the little bit of silicone in the holes as well. All 230 Tapcons we used went in easier than expected! I recommend buying the Bosch bits, in a longer length than the ones that come with the Tapcons so its easier to get the depth that you need since you need to go in deeper than the length of the tapcon. One thing, in your description, the 1/4" tapcons require 3/16" bits, not an actual 1/4" bit. Also thanks for the landscape fabric tip. Worked like a charm and only added $50 to the project!

Thomas Lowry thanks for the feed back I really appreciate it. I will update the bit size in the description. I ended up using an SDS drill as well. It was much faster. I'm currently building my families dream home and documenting the entire build. I will be shooting an updated version of this as installation as well. Good luck with the rest of your project!

I'm doing something very similar, but I was going to hold off on rigid foaming the walls until I decide when I want to frame the walls. For now it will just be the floating floor in the basement. Question: can I tape the edges of the plastic right to the concrete walls as my vapor barrier or will the tape not hold well enough? Thank you!

Thanks for info

Thank you for posting this great video. You have saved me $$. Your presentation style is excellent. I’m wondering if you have any videos pertaining to installing ceiling in a basement. I want to use drop but I’m concerned about losing precious headroom. I don’t want to go drywall, I want full access to plumbing, electric, etc

Russ DeVita thanks for the feedback I really appreciate it! Sorry I don’t have any videos on installing dropped ceilings.

Great video. I used the same technique as you. I went with DMX (yes I agree with you, all the same). The only difference technique I used I didn't drilling with screws into concrete. I used Mending plates to join and lock all the OSB floors. Using the Mending plates makes the job easier and less time to drill in screw. (yes drill the screws if there is a bounce in the floor). Therefore, your Delta is floating and so is your OSB floor. thanks for the video. Yes it is cheaper then dry-core.

Ang ipp thanks for you comments! I'll have to check out those mending plates.

Great video. Great detail. The last one wants is to find out after the floor is done is they put the membrane down the wrong way. :-)

Thanks! Image installing all the uncoupling membrane upside down haha. That would suck.

Landscaping fabric is nice. Roofing felt, tar paper is a better option if your basement floor "sweats, or wicks water" like in an older house where the builder didn't use poly under the slab. The tar paper will hold the moisture underneath better than a regular poly vapor barrier and the water concentration will reach equilibrium and stop wicking.

That's a great point for people who have concrete slabs with a heavy moisture content. Thanks for the tip!
