Due to the expansion rate of this product is it safe to use with a crack that meets a basement window?

The product works beautifully when you follow the instructions. Also make sure there is nothing blocking the surface where the cracks run buy when seal the crack before filling the foam. Otherwise you'll have problem with the foam filling the cracks.

The crack I had ran from the corner of a window to the floor, I had no problems. This is an old house with metal framed, tip out windows. Even if it did expand to the window opening any excess would easily scrape off, it is not a masonary product.

I installed in a basement window to keep air movement to lower moisture, works great. I also purchase a heavy duty timer to kick in from time to time

10 months ago I had a similar problem with a crack in the basement with water leaking inside. My son is a licensed home improvement contractor and he recommended this product. I ordered it and used it and it has been totally dry since then. It took less than an hour to use the product. Easy to use. This fall and winter has seen a lot of rain and snow and there have been no further problems. I highly recommend this product.

I believe it will. I used it mostly on all size cracks on my basement foundation.

Hello, I'm also in Chicago as well. I used this product during the fall for several basement foundation cracks when temperature was still in the 60's. I was able to contact the manufacturer to order additional parts and pieces. They were very helpful and should be able inform you of the exact product temperature range. The product worked extremely well to date. No leaks.

This device is when someone trie to shatter a glass window. Unless that train is rocketing you house I don't think it would be a problem. You have to hit the glass pretty hard.

Yes you can use this in a basement. Will stay still on concrete surface.. My daughters hit into ours in the garage.

Unless it gets below 40 degrees I would not worry about it. The unit is used to remove humidity which happens to most basements in the summer. I have one and love it. It took my humid basement where moisture was about 75 percent down to 40 to 45 in about a week. Would not be without it.

I wouldn't recommend it. Test the glass first one inch from the floor outside the cabinent.

I would think so. I used this product on the ductwork in my basement; first sealing the joints with aluminum tape, then the spiral wrap held in place with the same tape. (In some runs it was tricky to get the material in place, but that may just be my situation). I also purchased a 6" wide wrap for the elbows. It has made a difference in the amount of cooling/heat that escapes from my ducts.

We went through the wall in our basement. You would have to leave a window open if you used the window.

I found no documentation whether the Duo-Corp 32 x 14 Basement Window, 3214 SLID is Energy Star Rated or not. I suspect you

Not sure. I used it to apply kevlar skid plates to my royalex canoe. I had deep gouges but no cracks. Good luck.

extra x-it ladder will just sit in a pile on the ground below the window and should not cause any problems.keep in mind at the end of the day, you are trading the risk of being trapped with climbing out - you choose:)

My opinion is that I think it would work... I actually have it setup in my basement as a precaution.

Hey I just attached to my any door frame in ground floor. It does not have any issue. You can try it in your basement.

The proprietary, two-component polyurethane expands forcefully when in contact with water and forcefully expands up to 20 times its volume. The crack should be wet inside (NOT DRY!) or else your wasting the product and your time.
