Question 4

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

Question 5

I have a wash and pack room on my small organic farm. The floor is concrete and needs to be sealed. It gets a lot of traffic daily and at least one day per week can have water on it for several hours while we wash vegetables (not underwater). The floor needs to not be slippery in any way. Is the Green Building Supply, Penetrating Concrete Sealer what I should use? I also have a walk in cooler with a concrete floor (insulated underneath). Can I also use this product with temperatures that remain between 37-43? Thanks! View answer

Question 22

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.

Question 30

I applied the micro etch to concrete that had been power troweled. Afterward I found a tiny pit in the concrete (1/32"). Will these pits be sealed up and flush with the top surface of the concrete or will there always be a tiny pit? What would you recommend I do, before or after the sealer, to address any tiny pits? The concrete was previously smooth as glass and I could not perceive any pits before hand at least, but they may have been there. Should I not leave the micro etch on as long as I did? (5 minutes then scrub with a brush as the bottle suggested). View answer

Question 39

The wall-to-wall carpet and padding in our lower-level living area developed a musty smell shortly after receiving six inches of rain within two hours. The carpet and pad were removed and discarded. The base floor is untreated concrete slab and we found no visual sign of mold, mildew or water entry on concrete slab or carpet/pad. Cleaning the floor with soap and water and running multiple dehumidifiers for 2 weeks eliminated the odor. We then applied Concrobium mold control (to be safe). We'd like to seal the concrete to prevent moisture vapor from migrating through the concrete in the future. The folks at AFM recommended using MexeSeal for this purpose. As you carry both MexeSeal and Green Building Supply Sealer. Which product do we use? View answer
