I noticed you used StegoTack Tape on the walls and then Crete Claw tape on on the floor near the wall. It was not in the install guidelines but make sense to me to do this. I was curious how you came up with this idea. Beautiful installation! I have watched this video several times. Thx for the pointers.
Thank you! We really appreciate comments like this. TBH, I think we saw the installation procedure on a @StegoIndustries video. It might've been a comercial application. I looked for it and did not find it.
Are you going to need to install some sort of additional vapor barrier product on the interior of the below-grade walls at some point? The outsides of the foundation walls just have the insulation and bituthene layers, but I don't remember hearing whether that was enough for radon protection on walls?
That's an interesting question, I believe the thought process is that radon will take the path of least resistance through the soil and up. Then, avoid going into the house. Note that a fan still needs to be connected to the pipes to exhaust to the roof.
@@efficientbuild radon does get in thru vertical foundation walls, esp when soil wet. Not as important as sub slab tho-if you have to worry about radon thru the walls, and you already have an active subslab system, you’ve got radon levels
Good to know, I figure it is negligible otherwise everyone would also be putting vapor barriers on the walls. Plus radon detectors don't really show it as an issue.

@@efficientbuild Thanks for the response. Much appreciated.
