Foundation Wall / Pipe Sleeve Sealing
Need some help guys, I'm in NC which uses the IPC code.
What code approved methods are you using for sealing wall penetrations/sleeves below grade. We've used spray foam polyurethane sealants (not "great stuff brand) for the past three years with zero failures. One local inspection jurisdiction is now saying no more. They are pointing us to the 2012 IRC sections R406.1 "Foundation water-proofing and damp-proofing", which means we have to seal with the same products the foundation is sealed with. The majority, if not all the methods listed are cementous or petroleum based products that don't comply with our application.
Any ideas?
