I'm trying to slow moisture transfer, effervescence and dusting on brick basement interior walls. I've done what I can to regrade and drain outside but get moisture in the corners where there's old mortar/dirt between layers I think that don't dry well and show darker on the brick where it's been lime mortar repaired. (Like a sponged on german schmear.) Would this product be good for this application? View answer

Is AFM WaterShield the right product to apply to the walls in a bathroom to repel moisture? The previous owner of my home had a bathroom (with shower) built, with NO fan to deal with moisture in the air when the shower is running. When I use this shower I use a window fan to push the moist air out, but, lots of moisture collects on the walls/ceiling in the bathroom. No issues with mold/mildew. How can I make these walls more hydrophobic so when the shower is used, the condensation that collects doesn't stick so readily, allowing the walls to dry more quickly after being wiped down. I will get a bathroom fan installed eventually but I want to add a water repellent on the walls (applied on top of the wall paint). Any product suggestions? View answer

I have moisture coming up from my concrete slab and wetting my carpet. I read in another's question of the correct product to use and how it would need to be used on a raw untreated floor. So my question is, when I pull my carpet and padding back how will I tell if the concrete is raw or untreated or not? Thank you Mrs Testa View answer

Can you use a sprayer to apply? I have a 100 year old house with a fieldstone foundation. When I purchased in 2006 it was already coated in a thick white covering that was peeling off and as a result there is lots of dust from the crumbling stone. I tried to cover it with a product I got from Home Depot that had to be brushed on. I had to use a large bristle brush and it was next to impossible as the stuff was so gloppy that as I brushed it on it would pull off what was already applied and it was difficult to get into the crevices. I also rolled it on to my damp concrete floor. It all started peeling off within a year. I need something that will seal my floors and foundation from the inside that can be sprayed on. 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.

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
