Hi,
My house has vinyl siding, tyvek building wrap and an 8-foot basement. I have a leak between the concteate basement and outside 2x10 floor joist. This happened during the spring thaw while there was still snow. I want to stop it so I can develope my basement. Where the leak occured the top of the concreate wall is about 8 inches up from ground level. Snow was about 2-feet and melting at the time.
It was suggested on another forum that I insert a rubberized membrane (water and ice shield used in roofing) along the whole bottom course inside the Tyvek house wrap.
Does anyone here agree or disagree with this solution? Will it cause other problems?
