Foundation Tar

ckul | Posted in Construction Techniques on

I once used foundation tar on the interior walls of my basement on a house I once owned. Is that code? If not, what is the best product out there. Thanks

    Why would you want tar (And the associated smell) inside your house?

    I could never lead a double life. I don't have that much closet space.
