Sealing Framing to Foundation

[@PplEtr]

I'm a homeowner and advanced DIY'er. I'm forced to do my own rot mitigation after a contractor fleeced me (whew, and how!). You introduced me to the Prosoco line, and this stuff is AMAZING! Thanks for this!

[@lostinmyspace4910]

Matt We did the same exact thing years ago when we pulled out the T-111 wood siding, and pulled out the Corning fiberglass insulation. We spray foamed the entire wall cavity of the house, then we used a rubberized house caulking, and hit above the 3/4 inch floor, and below the same plywood floor to seal the cold air coming thru those cracks. Thats better than caulking behind the baseboard from inside the house. This way air doesn't even infiltrate into the basement thru the bottom crack of the plywood. I used plywood as an applicator and really forced the caulk into the cracks.

[@tommydjohnsonjr]

I'd love to see a video with all the recommended layers of a wall, for long term reliability. (Drywall, spray foam in LVL's, 7/16" osb, rigid foam, rainscreen, house wrap, and finishing material), or however you'd recommend

[@tommydjohnsonjr]

@mattrisinger this is a great video to add to a great series. Thanks for making the trade better and more informed.

[@samT-3439]

@MattRisinger - can you make a video on how you detail the siding and/or stucco to cover that joint? That would be super helpful. Thanks!

[@optikradio]

this please

[@alianti-racism8833]

U cover that with starting strip

[@Mattstafford2009]

WHAT!???! I'm a huge fan and everything here looked great and very informative, but you left out the best part... "ON THE BUILD SHOW!"

[@virgil3241]

So how is this done after the fact. Tons of us know that many builders do it fast and cheap, leaving it up to the home owners down the line to deal with it. In a completely finished basement, how do you deal with this, besides tearing your entire basement apart down to the studs?

[@thelouiebrand]

Remove your siding. Seal and put it back on.

[@jmarianu3976]

I coated the outside and top of the concrete foundation with a bitimous waterproofing product. I painted the sill with kilnz and then wrapped the bottom with rain and Ice and used a standard foam sill pad between the two. But I did not seal the gap like you did because I was concerned about ventilation.

[@scotthixson5917]

Sweet/boss intro Matt. Thanks for the knowledge bomb once again. Like I've said before, I am a young builder and you have taught me considerably more about how to build the right way, with integrity, compared to the GC I am shadowing

[@buildshow]

+Scott Hixson thanks buddy! That intro was funny in my head as I planned it. Glad it turned out well!

[@shahsmerdis]

@Matt, Small idea, Why do you fluid apply the last 4 inch of the plywood on both sides and the bottom (where it meets foundation) , before you install so no moisture can wick up the ply wood. Just a thought :)

[@gellybellyism]

If we do this exterior process, is necessary to still caulk the interior sill/concrete gap? Which is best? Both, one or the other? Thanks

[@HistoricHomePlans]

I like this detail and approach a lot. How might it be reconciled with a termite shield? Often I find the solution to one problem has a negative impact on another problem.

[@carlosmontoya7418]

Hello! Are you still looking for solutions and can you give me an example to what has an negative impact on another problem? We specialize on termite and waterproofing.

[@bellemichelle9459]

I have had a hard time getting prosoco here, rural NC area, even from a building company who is supposed to be able to order it. Also, I can't seem to find it in anything less than a five gallon bucket. I wish the manufacturer would sell online or allow you to link to a seller.

[@chadphillips8898]

If I'm framing in a carport and the concrete goes out past where the framing is. Will this product keep water from running under the wood and getting into the garage.

[@jurnagin]

Chad Phillips I'm in process of framing in my garage and we are about to put some flashing around bottom and probably use some type of glue sealant

[@CountBeetle]

What happened? I got a leaking room on a concrete patio

[@shanekrantz2781]

This seems like it could be a good option to seal between sheathing connections to block out air leakage before Tyvek. Possibly cheaper than some of the good tapes.

[@AJohnson0325]

I doubt this is one of his builds because he tends to use the zip system instead of Tyvek and osb or plywood. The zip system is osb with a built in weather barrier then there is either their zip tape or zip liquid flash to seal everything up.

[@2Jeezuzisreal]

Great info. Need this on our wood foundation. We built on pea rock by the code. Even the bearing wall footing pads are pressure teated. We are thinking on the wall plywood useing Henry's blue seal liquid. Then maybe Blueskin rolls of peel and stick. Its just like roofing Ice&water rolls peel stick. I think its butyl and poly.

[@jaydee9630]

We have cedar lap and gap (tongue and groove) siding and have been sealing the horizontal joints with Masterseal np1 caulk sealant. I have read in numerous places to not caulk between horizontal siding, because it needs to drain any water which could possibly get behind it and it has to move with expansion and contraction of the boards. The transition between the slab and skirt board have also allowed these small cridders into our house. The siding was installed correctly, but over the course of 30 plus years the boards have some gaps between the joints. Friends and family members who are carpenters have informed me as long as you keep the siding sealed and treated there shouldn't be a problem with water getting behind the siding and to seal these horizontal joints. By these boards not being sealed we have introduced carpenter ants, scorpions and other cridders. Does anyone have a suggestion please? Thanks

[@venegasenmerida6307]

Can you blow in diatomoceus earth powder in there and inside dobthe same along your perimeter & then seal your baseboards & quarter round with stretch poly caulk & seal wall outlets & put Child proof plugs when not in use to preventbug intrusion..

[@michaelkolozsvari3575]

If you have an already built garage, but are finishing the inside, should you seal between the foundation and the studs, or are you risking trapping water in the walls that makes it in from the outside? Similar question to air seal between the studs and the inside of the material against them. Will sealing this just cause bigger risks down the line?

[@seandavisdesign]

When the siding goes on, do you do anything to cover the gap between siding and foundation created by the thickness of the sheathing?

[@ChaosForLunch]

can we use the Prosoco R-Guard Joint and Seam filler for the connection between the sill plate and the concrete on the Inside of the house that was built a few years ago ? there is zero fluid flashing or tape on that same connection on the exterior.

[@nanaimosquashpro557]

Hi Matt, We just purchased a new home and it has an aggregate deck on the front. We have just repaired the rotten joists and framing downstairs as the flashing was only about 1/2-1" above the deck surface up the house and water was pouring in (We live on rainy Vancouver Island). We were told to go with torch on flashing to eliminate future leaking but the roofer said that will not work on aggregate. I am wondering if this is the product we should use with regular flashing 6" added on top? Our deck is too big of a job currently to get rid of. Your expertise would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

[@bvac]

Kinda weird that my untreated shiplap sheathing sitting directly on a brick foundation without any flashing or sealing has lasted 100 years in the rainy northeast without this product applied to it. Would you recommend it on remodels/old work?

[@buildshow]

+Bryan Vaccaro that's the beauty of old growth lumber that has plenty of air flow. "If it can't dry it's gonna die". Use this to air seal and waterproof when Remodeling.

[@blanksender7808]

OK you've sealed the bottom, now what about that joint where the OSB meets the plywood? Seems a comparable issue

[@AnthonyBrusca]

D Priv also flash it?

[@galas455]

Hi Matt, the tenant in my rental house is always complaining about ants in the house, I've hired a professional pest company to spray for these little critters but that can get expensive, is there anything else I can do? Do I need to seal the house better as you have shown? Better solutions?

[@normancarnahan4893]

Jeffrey, see if you can sprinkle some 20 Mule Team Borax in the wall cavities, then patch the sheetrock. If you can put borax in the bottom of the wall cavities, it would probably cut back on the little critters, ants, cockroaches, etc. I think it is environmentally OK - and certainly better than many commercial toxic sprays.

[@venegasenmerida6307]

Diacemotous earth powder also can be used make sure your baseboards & quarter round are sealed along the perimeter of the inside also make sure your outlets are sealed. Too many Insects spiders coming into a house are sometimes due to poor Walter drainage away from your homes foundation / crawl space.. are your gutters working properly. Is Walter being drained at least 10 ft from your foundation? Apple drains has some excellent vids on KZbin

[@haasjeism]

Can you also do this when the plywood is a wallcover on the inside? I have water dripping in when it's raining heavy at a few points where the osb joins the concrete slab. It's a garage.

[@shawndoyle6460]

I would look into using a mastic tape like eternabond or peel and seal....

[@onepoket]

Could this be used in an attic to air seal the conditioned space below?

[@MonzaRacer]

Yes just make sure it's got a bit of moisture to help set up also they have an air barrier that's for around Windows that works well too and stuff to fill gaps before sealing.

[@michaellarson3824]

Matt i have a similar situation can i do all the wall plywood seams and the a weather wrap over the top?

[@jesusisaliberal548]

Can I use this instead? ZIP System Liquid Flash | 29 oz. Cartridge | Weather-Resistant | Flashing Sealant

[@gloriasabin3624]

What is the difference between Posco Joint Seam filler and Fast Flash Liquid flashing. My main application will be to seal the base plat of my 20'x10' shed which is mounted on a flat concrete slab.

[@trvsdvdsn]

Hi Matt, this might be an older vid but it felt like the right place to ask: in the video it appears that the face of stud is coplanar with the face of foundation and the sheathing is proud of that (in other words the face of sheathing is not coplanar with the face of concrete). In other videos the sheathing IS coplanar with the face of concrete. Is this a better detail when you align the sheathing and concrete?

[@POLOLOUS3]

Congrats on the cover and article.

[@buildshow]

[@morganmclean5861]

thanks for your response. we are all waiting for a "how to" video for replacing an aluminum window in a brick home the right way.

[@MrUpsidedowngaming]

Matt Risinger my builder used some sort of foam gasket on top of the concrete slab before applying sill plates, but nothing like this. My house is in NE, its a new build. How hard would it be do remove some of the vinyl siding to do something like this? Or what would you do after the fact?

[@HeliosE7]

Similar situation here. I really wish I had seen this and some of Matt's other videos before having our new house built. Depending on your situation it might be possible to go back and do this but you would need to investigate your specific situation to see if it would be feasible or not. In my case I was able to do it. I used a siding removal tool to loosen the bottom row of vinyl siding (freeing the bottom edge from the metal starter strip). Then had to carefully remove the starter strip (removing each nail using a nail puller). Had to also remove some of the staples and nails that were holding down the bottom edge of the housewrap. Temporarily folded up the bottom edge of housewrap and carefully held that and bottom row of the siding up and out of the way while working. Used tape and plastic drop cloths to mask off and protect the lower, exposed part of the concrete that I didn't want the r-guard to drip on. Applied r-guard to seal the sheathing to the foundation as Matt shows in this video. Let dry for about an hour or two. Then went back and removed masking tape/drop cloths. Then folded the bottom edge of the house wrap back down, re-secured it, nailed the siding starter strip back down, and then re-hooked the bottom row of siding back to the starter strip. Had to do this project over multiple days- it took quite a long time and was especially difficult in some places (it was really tricky on the side of my house where the electrical service, hvac, fresh air intake, vent pipes, are all located due to the lack of room to work with). Really wish I or my builder had known about this and had done it during construction. In either case, I feel much better now that I've gone back and done this. There were big enough gaps in some places where we had small ants getting into the house and this has sealed up those entry points. I'm also hoping it will also better protect the bottom of the sheathing from moisture. Matt, thanks for all of the great videos!

[@digitalQ33]

I'm getting 7 linear feet per 20 oz sausage! I'm only dropping down about an inch on the concrete, then, about 1.5 up the 7/16" OSB. Buy more than you think you need! It appears to be great stuff, thanks for the tip Matt!

Matt. icf blocks were used to build my underground garage and stick on membrane waterproofed it. But below the above ground cladding and the ground, is a gap where i can still see the stick on membrane which goes all the way down into the ground. im worried about uv damage to that and think it should be covered? what should be done between the ground and where the cladding starts to cover the membrane? is there video on that.

I am trying to hurricane proof this part of my house. Trying to keep water, driven by wind, from entering a house. Could I add a PVC water board to cover this after sealing with tape and mastic type sealant and then metal drip edge over the board and under siding?

[@teresareyes934]

Great video Keith. So how is the MFT table shaping up?

[@ritalee569]

Matt, Great video. Question 1. What do you do when you have a porch . . .do you still seal between foundation and wood framing?

[@Nu8S4uc3]

What about a peel and stick membrane that covers that joint? Should stick well to both the plywood and concrete and would provide the same waterproofing effect wouldn't it?

[@buildshow]

+Jake Apple yes I've used that many times but even with primer it does not always stay stuck. This is basically a waterproofing glue. No primer needed and it works even if surfaces are damp or even wet! It's a better detail

[@georgejackson7159]

Would this method work if my siding is sitting level with a brick patio? I have no way to hang my siding below the foundation because my foundation sits level with the patio, and the patio extends another 3 feet. Sealing is going to be a major issue.

[@alteragnostik]

Is that a regular plywood as external sheeting? I though only OSB is used these days, or some fancy prefabricated sandwitches.

[@buildshow]

+alteragnostik yes that's regular plywood.

[@alteragnostik]

Thank you, Matt! That's cool. And what are the advantages of plywood over other stuff? Or is it trend to go back to the roots? :)

[@london402]

I hear it stays straighter over the long run for stucco or hardie board applied directly onto it. If Brick or stone, go with OSB

[@london402]

you prefer this to the peel and stick? Can this be done after the wrap is on?

[@geekdad9466]

Matt, I just came across this video. We just finished up a modular home on a basement, and I am looking for something like this to seal the house from bugs and water. Right now we have a problem with crickets, and I have narrowed it down to two areas of the foundation. I thought about caulk, but I know that the house needs to move/settle and breathe, and I don't want rot. the other problem is that these areas are really tight to the foundation, but this looks pliable enough to get into those tight areas. We also have two areas with patios, and I'm worried about splash from rain getting onto the wood from below and causing rot. Is this something that can help with that too?

[@buildshow]

+Geek Dad yes. This is much better than a standard caulk

[@geekdad9466]

thank you!

[@DanK00707]

I built a shed and did NOT do this type of sealing, and when it rains water comes in under the sill. I’ve already installed stone and siding. Any recommendations, should I seal from the inside? Thanks.

Would it be okay to use the R-Guard to seal the sill plate to slab seam as shown, then tape over with Carlisle membrane? If not, Carlisle system vs R-Guard?

[@candiceschreiner4987]

Hi. I rebuilt a vintage g ra in bin on a concrete slab. The slab is 6" larger than the bin, I want to use it as finished space, will this flashing create a water tight seal batween metal and concrete?

[@Constructor-ly8in]

Using this material UNDER the sill plates as they are installed and then using a bituthene flashing would be much more effective and faster/cleaner.

[@andrewccolwell]

Hi Matt, Great timing on this video! I'm replacing sheathing and siding on my house. I have a sidewalk along the side of my house that is on the same plane as the foundation. I had been looking at using Fentrim F over the Zip Sheathing, under the Zip sheathing edge, to the small portion of the sill plate that would be exposed, and then to the concrete. Then probably flashing under the rain screen and siding to kick water out. Any thoughts or recommendations? I would appreciate it!

How do you think a lot of these products will hold out long term? Is it realistic to think that the sealants and peel and stick products are going to last for 50+ years? I know that you liked to do everything you can to make a place water tight, so not just rely on these products.

Best stuff I have ever used is that rubberized fiber roof patch that comes in a one gallon can. I have used it on the top of chimneys to waterproof and still performs as good as the day I installed it, over 25 yrs ago, sun, rain, snow hasn't hurt it. I have used it to seal the sill plate to the concrete along with the foam and there's nothing getting through it, air, bugs, water Etc ! Sometimes the old shit should be used because it's a proven thing.

I heard you should not do this, bc then if you do get moisture or condensation build up and the osb can’t evacuate this moisture out to the surrounding environment thro the open end of the trim at the bottom of the trim, that the osb will rot/age faster. I would seal the inside of the house bottom edge, just not the outside
