I think I need to seal my very old (from 1955) concrete basement floor but it has small holes (from nails that were taken out along with small amounts of concrete) that need patching. What should use to patch it with that will still allow the GBS penetrating sealer to be applied? I assume I can't patch it after applying the sealer because of adhesion issues. I intend to paint over the sealer. View answer

I have a basement with a poured concrete floor and block walls. I also have a radon issue. Radon mitigation has been installed and is providing good evacuation of the air under the slab BUT i believe that the unsealed block walls are "leaking" enough air to bring some radon into the space. Will treating the walls with GBS seal the walls against any airflow and hence the radon that would be carried in with the Air? View answer

Can this be used on the outside of concrete water troughs being used to grow aquatic plants? All sides of troughs are 3 inches thick. The concrete is fiber reinforced, unsealed and porous. The objective of sealing from the outside would be to reduce permeability/slow down water loss through the concrete. The sealer failing over time is not an issue for me. Or, is there another product better suited for this goal that will not change the look of the cured concrete? Thank you! View answer

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.

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

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

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

The exterior wall of our basement has been leaking for a few years when it rains. Black mold is appearing. This is not a dripping situation inside our basement but just a damp one. We spent a bundle last week on having our yard graded and it did nothing, sad to say. I'm looking to seal this wall very well (cinder block). Which product do you recommend? We want to go green. Thank you and thanks for creating these safer products. View answer
