Dampproofing recommendations?

dicklowman | Posted in General Questions on

I’m building in a dry zone, no anticipated groundwater, poured concrete stem walls, conditioned crawl space. IRC 2009. Will have carefully constructed foundation drain outside footings. I’m looking for dampproofing recommendations. I’m thinking that Henry Non-Fibered Foundation Coat may be okay, but want to verify that. Alternative might be Deco Seal which is a waterproofing, and that would add a few hundred dollars to the cost. Deco would have slight advantage of being more attractive without black line above the ground. I’d like to know other folk’s experience with dampproofing products, how effective they have proven, application problems, application rates. Thanks.
