	Friday Fax A Weekly Summary of Polywater^® News of Incredible Importance

Issue #800

Polywater's Communication Division is frequently asked about the re-enterability of PedFloor Structural Foam Barrier. The correct and simple answer is: "Yes, re-entering a PedFloor seal is fairly simple with a hole saw or spade bit." And it can lead to an entirely new sale of SolidSeal Foam.

This is not a theoretical exercise; re-entry has been accomplished in the field multiple times with hole saws and butterfly bits. Case in point: a local cable company had a re-entry opportunity. PedFloor had already been installed as a suspended ceiling above a vault. Later they needed to bring a new cable into the pedestal, so a hole was drilled in the PedFloor, and the cable was installed. Complete success for the re-enterability of PedFloor ... but that's not the end of the story.

The contractor did a great job, but did not reseal around the cable. Two weeks later there was an outage. When the tech opened the pedestal there was a savage mouse with huge nasty teeth staring him down. The mouse had entered through the new hole and chewed and nested his way to service disruption. The mouse was vanquished and the hole then resealed around the cable with SolidSeal Foam for a happy ending.

To prevent this horror story from recurring, sell the re-enterability of PedFloor ... and then SolidSeal Plugging Foam to seal PedFloor re-entry points.
