Be sure to concentrate where the water is entering the foundation and check the outside to make sure gutters and downspouts are running water away from foundation. Two coats of Hydro-seal 75 applied to basement walls and floor or floor perimeter should solve the problem. Be sure to patch any holes, cracks or voids with Hydro-Seal 75 Mortar which is Hydro-Seal 75 mixed with Portand Cement & Sand (Sand Mix works well too). Steps: 1. Clean surface by washing with TSP & neutrallizing with clear water. 2. Mix Hydro-Seal 75 at a 1 to 1 ratio and apply with paint rollers and brushes. Start and finish where water leaks in. 3. Make mortar mix out of Hydro-Seal 75 and sand and cement and skim over cracks, holes and voids. 4. Apply 2nd coat of Hydro-Seal 75 and you are done! Hydro-Seal 75 contains no VOC's and is odorless making it perfect for tight areas like basements, bulkheads and elevator pits. Hydro-seal 75 holds back more water, 40PSI, than other materials sold in home centers and online. Hydro-seal 75 is available with anti mold biocide to eleiminate mold growth on the surfaces it is applied to. Hydro-Seal 75 is available in colors including White, Gray & Beige and will beautify sufaces it is applied to.
