We will need to install protective tarps and have access for a vacuum in the area provided if necessary.

If possible, the best time is during the excavation of your project, if any may occur. Your window or doorway can be "Cut and Dropped" into a hole or a "grave" that your excavation contractor can dig for you. This saves you the cost of break up and the nuisance of removal. Just cover it up and it is gone forever. You must dig at least 1 foot wider than the side cuts (preferably 20"), 8 feet back from the wall, and down to the footing. The doorway is removed in one large piece.

No, but if you decide to finish the space as habitable at a later date, you will be required to install an egress window.

If you do not intend to finish your basement walls, meaning covering them permanently with stud walls and sheeting, then it is not always necessary to remove all old existing paint before SANI-TRED installation, as long as good common sense understanding of the importance of the removal of the peeling painted areas are understood and accomplished.

Ideally, You need to dig 1 foot wider than the side cuts, 4 feet back from the wall, and 1 foot deeper than the bottom cut.

If the pipe insulation is in good condition, and there is little or no chance of it being disturbed, it is probably best to leave it in place.

EPA does not regulate the removal and disposal of asbestos containing material from privately owned single family residences.

You can use any deep cycle marine battery, as long as it is not maintenance-free. However, there are several advantages to using a Basement Watchdog battery. The Watchdog battery accommodates the system’s fluid sensor which will sound an alarm when the battery needs water…a very important feature, since a dry battery will not perform. In addition, Basement Watchdog batteries run longer per charge, and last years longer.

A good quality Carbide Tipped Triple Chip saw blade is preferred when cutting Plexiglas. This reduces the amount of chipout on the opposite side of the material and produces a smooth edge. A Router can be used to cut Plexiglas as well. The Router should be at least 1.5 HP or better and with changeable collets for a 0.5" Shank quality 2 flute Carbide bit. This reduces the vibration and chattering when cutting and will produce a more smooth edge.

The slot should be cut 1 1/2" down from the center of the ridge on both sides. This is the same if you have trusses or a 2X ridge board. Cutting the slot larger will not increase the ventilation and may cause problems with the installation of the ridge vent. If you have a wide ridge beam the vent will have to be split. Either view our variation details or call 800-837-8368.

YES. The floor and walls are a significant source of heat loss. An insulated floor is warmer and drier; and it has direct influence on your comfort. Putting carpets on a floor only makes it feel warmer. If you have a heated floor insulation is very much necessary, as the heat loss through the floor would be higher than 50%. This heat loss is a huge and unnecessary waste of money. Return on investment for floor insulation is very quick, mainly because of the low cost of INSTA-PANELS®.
