Concrete & Masonry Sealers Q&A
Activity timeframe
We have a tuck under cinder block/cement garage that is often moist due to seepage from the brick patio over the garage and water seepage into the underground walls. The walls have been painted, but are bubbling in places and in some places the paint is now gone and the block walls are crumbly. What is the best product to use inside the garage to seal out water, and prevent mold/mildew moisture. Is there a sealer that would help seal and prevent moisture from the brick patio from seeping into the garage? View answer

I have concrete block walls in my basement that have some sort of old dry loc type product on the block that's flaking off. Can this product be used as a sealer on the walls on top of the existing painted on dry loc that's flaking? Can I paint over this? I want to seal the block but also want something that won't hurt my birds or dogs on the floor above my basement. Or is there another product that would work better. View answer

I'd like to use this on untreated 4x4 pine posts that will have ground contact (maybe a few inches into the ground). The upper parts will be painted with white linseed oil paint. Can I use Safeguard Roof Coat to cover the black color of the Dynoseal at the bottom to help it match the white paint? View answer

What would you recommend for waterproofing below-grade concrete on a 1936 house in Florida? property floods about a foot. We are raising the soil 18" at house level, and slowly grading down away from the house. The concrete foundation is stucco and painted, so I don't know if Safecoat Dynoseal will work. Most materials seem to work on raw concrete only. Thanks for any help you can give. View answer

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.

can you use this product on an exposed aggregate concrete driveway? Also, will it darken the driveway? We notice when it rains and the water soaks in, the driveway appears a little browner which matches well with our stucco home. Once this soaks in, will it dry a little deeper? View answer

I believe my slate tile in my bathroom had some type of sealer on it from the manufacturer. I do not know what kind. I want to add a further sealant to seal in whatever may have been used from the manufacturer, as well as to make my slate more water resistant. Would this be a good product for that? View answer

Hi, we applied both the glossy sealers and the concrete sealer about 2 weeks ago. I just checked and clearly the glossy version worked when I poured water on it and pearls of water were forming. But the sealer did not look glossy at all. What could be the reasons, it was not glossy?The water on the penetrating version did not pearl. What could be the reasons the water did not pearl? Please advise Note: I was planning to use the concrete sealer in my garage and the glossy sealer in my artist studio. View answer

I am restoring the interior of a building which has a poured concrete floor and block walls. Previously, both the walls and the floor were painted, but since at one end of the building the ground rises several feet up the wall on the outside, the moisture from the earth managed to seep through just a little, causing damp on the floor and wall in that area, and eroding the paint. What product would you recommend to solve this slight dampness? would its use require me to remove the old paint completely (which would be a chore)? I intend to panel the walls and repaint the floor, and do not want recurrence of the problem. View answer
