Default hardwood floor underlayment

I am not sure what you mean.
It is my current home and we are upgrading from carpet to hardwood. We will
be in the house another 10-15 years. One of the installers uses a product
called AquaBar, which appears to be a sandwich of paper with a tar like
substance in the middle. The argument he makes is that poly will leave
holes but this aquabar paper seals around the staples. It makes sense to me
on the surface, but I am still looking for advice.

I have two quotes on putting down a hardwood floor in my home. One
installer says that heavy duty poly sheet is best, another showed his
underlayment and it looks like roofing paper to me. The floor would be
installed over 3/4 plywood over a crawlspace. We will be using a 3/4
prefinished hardwood floor. What are the opinions out there regarding
underlayment?
Thanks

I'm thinking troll. Did you sell the townhouse you didn't or cannot
fix for lack of $$$?

Is this the current single home or the townhouse?
