I am finishing my basement. I used Tapcons to secure PT 2x4 to the
basement slab. After a week of heavy rains, I noticed that all the screw holes were weeping water. There was definite circles of moisture (but not standing water) coming from underneath the bottom plate. So I am in need of expertise. 1. Does anybody know a Twin Cities expert with many years of basement experience? I will pay for expert (and I mean EXPERT) consulting from a grizzled veteran who's seen it all, and can express opinion without bias. 2. I am considering pulling each screw and injecting silicone into the holes, then re-driving the screw. What do you guys think? I was also considering polyurethane foam or epoxy. If I shoot epoxy down the hole, I'll NEVER get those bottom plates off. |
