Had the basement insulated with that pink spray foam...

Had the Basement insulated with that pink spray foam stuff. Insulation contractor came out with a few people and they did the job in just under 3 hours. They sprayed where the basement walls meet the floor joists and around the windows and door leading to the stairs that head on up to the steel bilco door. Was told not to go in the basement for at least 24 hrs.

Will, it rained pretty good tonight, and I wanted to see how wet and humid the basement was. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Basement is almost BONE DRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sure, there is a little water coming in the basement, either from a few pine holes in the basement wall on the East side that does not have gutters , or from the old Bilco door on the same side , but it is a heck of a lot better than it was before.

Question.

Is that spray foam they use supposed to be waterproof or water resistant? Never thought it was.
