MichaelWhat was the caulk you used and did you have a sub-slab depressurization system running?We had a lot of bubbling up of caulk in a commercial building that we were only sealing.  Later we learned that an exhaust fan was creating a negative pressure in the building versus the outside of - 56 pascals or - 0.224" of static pressure.BillOn Wed, Oct 12, 2011 at 7:43 PM, Michael Talotta wrote:
Hello everyone,I sealed a very large basement last Friday that had some areas of the wall and floor joint with gaps as wide as 5/8" and one pretty good crack in the floor.  Upon returning to the property yesterday it was apparent that there is a pretty good pressure beneath the slab.  Have any of you ever experienced sealant bubbling up like this?  See the attached pictures.
