Does anyone have any recommendations for basement waterproofing or any waterproofing experiences they would like to share?
Answers:
1All the answers before mine are good. The best idea is to do a combination of drainage maintenance, and the Drylock. Drylock will 100% waterproof the walls of that basement. You can get Drylock at most home centers and most good paint stores.
From: Rara
When It comes to basement and crawlspace waterproofing it is always best to handle things from the outside in not from the inside out. Foundation Drains, French Drains, Sump pumps, Proper Grading and positive flow away from all points of the foundation including extending your downspouts as far as possible are all imperative in keeping the hydrostatic pressure from bowing out walls, creating efflorescence and truly having a water proof basement and crawlspace. Sure you can dryloc as an extra reassurance or use any number of products from Thoroseal to sakrete but these will only be temporary measures if the major issues are not addressed.
