Fastfoot® protects the groundwater.

WHY FASTFOOT® IS GREEN:

1. Fastfoot® conserves natural resources: A single 12.5 pound roll of Fastfoot® will form the same footing as 900 pounds of lumber, representing a dramatic increase in efficiency. Footing lumber is discarded after several reuses because of alkaline damage. Fastfoot® protects all lumber and stakes from concrete.

Fastfoot® prevents stormwater pollution.

2. Fastfoot® Prevents Ground Water Pollution: Fastfoot® is a damp proof membrane and prevents concrete toxins from contaminating sensitive ground water. With lumber, the concrete is in direct contact with the ground, and enters the groundwater, contaminating spawning and wildlife habitat.

3. Fastfoot® Provides a Drier, Healthier Indoor Environment:

   Fastfoot® prevents rising damp and mold.

   The Fastfoot® membrane prevents moisture from wicking up through the concrete footing into the home. This prevents mold and fungi that grow in damp environments and can cause severe respiratory infections and allergic reactions.
