Basement Walls Waterproofing
Now you have learned that waterproofing your basement requires different processes. If you think that you really need to waterproof your basement, it is necessary to follow all the steps mentioned above to guarantee that your basement will be successfully waterproofed.
Now that you have done the basic steps in checking the place that surrounds the foundation, you now can start the actual waterproofing of your entire basement. The best thing you can do is to use products like Xypex or Drylok. The Drylok is not considered as a water sealer but something more of a waterproofer. This one expands as it slowly dries and integrates itself on the wall. The Xypex is something like applying a waterproofing concreted direct to the surface where it also bonds itself on the walls.
After that, you can start doing some repairs to the cracks in the concrete walls and also those areas where the pipes and the tie rods come together to the concrete. For these cracks to have no thermal or structural movement, you can use the Drylok Fast Plug. This is proven effective in masonry for sealing cracks.
