Air Krete Installers Illinois

I recently had air-krete installed in my new home which is under construction. Construction on the outside included OSB sheathing, rigid foam insulation, and a housewrap. I am confident drying from the inside to the outside is minimal if non-existant. On the inside wall airkrete was sprayed in. A housewrap was put over the drywall side of the studs to keep the air-krete from falling out during installation. In accordance with standard AIr-Krete installation, the inside house wrap was slit 4-inches horizontally approximately ever 12-inches vertically.

This was to help the air-krete dry. According to Air-Krete the drying time should be 2 days. A week went by before my drywall started installing sheetrock on the walls.

He did not notice any moisture. However, and approximately two weeks after the Air-Krete was installed, we found a stud needed to be installed on a wall to support a shower door. The housewrap was slit at that location, and the Air-Krete removed. The Air-Krete was moist, like moist sand. It did not “drip,” but stuck together due to the moisture content.

My drywall contractor was very concerned the moisture will damage the drywall, especially future installation of mud and tape. I contacted AIr-Krete headquarters and they have suggested installing a dehumidifier and heaters and stopping the drywall installation for at least a few days to let the Air-Krete dry. I guess my question is, does this seem normal? Could I purchase a moisture meter with a probe and stick it through the installed drywall into the Air-Krete to see if it is dry, so I can verify the mud and tape can be installed since the Air-Krete is dry? And where do I get such a probe?

I have seen meters for checking the moisture content of wood and drywall online, but they have short prongs. I know this may sound silly, but would a soil probe which measures moisture work?

Any help or guidance on what I should do next will be appreciated? I don't have field experience with Air Krete but have read about it several times. I don't think the slits were to allow the AirKrete to dry, they were only for installation. AirKrete should dry to a fragile dry foam consistency. AirKrete when installed vertically needs netting to hold it in place. Potentially your contractor incorrectly used a housewrap product as the netting that didn't allow the AirKrete to 'cure' correctly. Just a guess I could be wrong.

Where are you located and what were the weather conditions during install? I am located in southern Illinois, about 2 hours southeast of St. I have spoken with R. Keene Christopher, owner of Airkrete, and he has been very helpful.

He said it will dry slowly, especially through the house wrap, and that is why they slit the housewrap - to facilitiate drying. I appreciate everone's response. I just assumed it would all be dry in two days. That does not seem to be the case.

I would recommend not having your drywall installed until you confirm it is completely dry. In the meanwhile, we did install a space heater in one room for a test and it seems to be working - some wet stains on the drywall are gone. I may rent a commercial dehumidifier and run it for a while. I still may try sticking a moisture meter through the drywall into the airkrete if I can find one that will work. Again, any advice appreciate, and thanks for what you all have provided. The slits are for both aiding in drying and access for installation.

It looks like you have a dependency on a debug library (Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT) Debug libraries are not provided in any redistributable pack (because they are not redistributable). This probably means you are trying to run a debug build on a machine that does not have Visual Studio installed. The solution to the problem is to build and. Does Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT relate to Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86) instead of Microsoft Visual C++2005 Redistributable Package (x86)? I have both MVC++ 2005 and 2008 Packages installed. Debug runtime is not distributable. If you want to deploy debug versions of program, you should manually install debug runtime libraries. Details of this process you can find in MSDN. I just installed Visual Studio C++ 2010 on my 64-bit Windows 7 Enterprise. I opened a project from Visual Studio C++ 2008, and converted it to VC2010. The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com. The latest version of this topic can be found at CRT Debug Library Use. The main definitions and macros for CRT debugging can be found in the CRTDBG.h header file. The functions in the CRT debug. Microsoft .vc90.debugcrt.

I am concerned that the HDPE wrap w/ a polyethylene coating (according to the ICC paper) may not breathe adequately on it's own. Tyvek is specified, because of it's moisture vapor permeability and is used in some installations. It would likely be prudent to aggressively heat the living space to promote evaporation and use your HVAC system to ventilate and exchange in fresh air. The dehumidifier is a good idea also.
