Basement Waterproofing Paint

Waterproofing a basement with paint on the interior of the walls is the most popular method used by do it yourselfers. Basement waterproofing paint can be a good solution for some, but not for others. Let's look at when it is probably not a good solution for you first.
  1. If your walls are already painted. Basement waterproofing paint is designed to soak in to the pourous cement block material. Applying waterproofing paint on top of other paint will lead to big bubbles, flaking and loose chunks falling off because the waterproofing paint could not bond into the wall.
  2. If your walls are not cement block. Basement waterproofing paint was designed for cement block. All other foundations, such a clay tile, will not take the paint correctly.
  3. If you have actual water seepage problems. Basement waterproofing paint will create a "dam" and can allow water to stack up in your block walls. This can cause rot and decay that will lead to major problems later. Actual water seepage should be dealt with utilizing professional repair and solutions.
So really, basement waterproofing paint works well for minor dampness issues that occur in cement block walls that are not previously painted.
