Concrete & Masonry Sealers Q&A

Question 1

Our basement had mold in it, we have since corrected the problem and had the mold cleaned up. It was recommended that we seal the basement floor and walls to prevent excess water from entering the basement (exterior underground walls are already sealed). We have a home gym in the basement so are very concerned with respiratory health. What indoor concrete sealer would you recommend? and also plan on adding rubber flooring panels in the gym area.

Question 4

Hello! I live in FL (think HOT and HUMID). We are ripping up the old outdoor carpet on our lanai and are wondering what to do with the bare concrete to protect and seal it. It does get a little wet occasionally from heavy rains on one side of the porch, but overall it is a covered area. What products should I use to best stain or paint and seal it? And can we get away with just the concrete stain or paint? or do we need to seal also? Thank you! View answer

Question 14

I bought a 1936 concrete home in Miami Florida in January in the dry season. The town has no storm drainage system( which I didn't know) and the property is in a flood zone. We are elevating the ground 18 inches with soil around the entire foundation, and grading a slow slope down away from the house. I want to waterproof the concrete foundation before we push the soil up against the house. What is the best material to use? I was told that an epoxy liquid would be good to coat on the foundation, but I have no idea if that's good. Thanks for any help you can provide. We don't have a basement, only a crawl space.
