Can I use “Waterproofing paint” to fix my wet basement?
You can literally put on 10-20-100 coats of paint, but it will never hold the water back. Once the hydrostatic pressure builds up, it will force itself through at some point. Paint does not provide concrete foundation sealing, it’s just paint, so pick a nice color.
When you paint the inside of your basement wall, you can slow down moisture, but not water. You are not eliminating the water from entering the cement block wall from outside.
Basement waterproofing can make your wet basement dry, but the paint should be sold on the shelf next to Jack’s magic beans, because no paint can stop water permanently.
