Great post! I’ve been hunting around for an option to seal my homes foundation b 4 applying paint then putting back the sand fill that I had 2 remove to get to the foundation slab and exterior wall. So far the best if about 30 posts on KZbin. Thanks!

Thank you!!!!

[@baba-sm1fm]

Great video! I need to hire a contractor to get a room addition built but I am not sure if it will be cheaper to get a block or poured foundation. I have been told is more labor intensive and more expensive to get blocks, but then someone else told me the opposite. Not being in the trade I am not sure

[@Reddylion]

Nice

[@lindagreer3679]

Thank you for this. I bought a 1940 home that has a concrete block back wall that is completely bare- and had a couple cracks. How would you recommend sealing the cracks? Thanks again.

[@Papastomper]

Do you have any experience with wood foundations? Or suggestions on where to look for advice with sealing a wood foundation

[@campgoerOne]

What do you suggest for chipping concrete driveway. I had a patio and driveway poured about 6 years ago and in the process of drying it cracked. And now I'm getting chipping in the driveway. This is in the Midwest. Thanks!

[@JacanaProductions]

I've got a 2ft retaining wall in our front yard that will be holding back some dirt, would this be overkill? The other side of the wall may be tiled in the future so I worry that the moisture from the soil on the other side may leach through and ruin the tile after some time. Cheaper solutions.

[@jeremyjames7044]

Can these products be used on exterior brick walls?

Can we do plaster after coating or brushing the water resist coat chemical processes that you did sir

Can this be used inside a boiler room in a house....? I need to fix beneath the outside brick steps which is above the boiler room. The steps are over the boiler.

[@sherimatukonis6016]

What about under the floor and exterior seem between the walls and floor

[@10p6]

Nice :-)

[@mohammadsayim3858]

Can you please suggest the existing walls probably for the basement where the exterior walls are filled with soil, if seepage occurs at that region that is already built ?

[@CO2isfake]

I was looking at a new house to buy. Basement leaks. I went to a job site where they were pouring new foundations. 😑. No exterior sealant.

[@jneckcrank]

I’d there anything like a product I can paint on concrete block to seal it

Will this work to seal the inside of my basement?

So the wall doesn’t need to breath. I hear some walls need to get air

[@jpsiljamo]

How thick is one mil?

[@SunnyDeeTee]

How long should we wait for the concrete grout between the blocks to dry before applying the black duck sealant?

[@michaeladams2077]

This is my exact question ??? I would think fully cured but that’s over 30 days. I see everyone filling back of retaining walls a lot sooner. I’m thinking water proof the back side so I can finish the back and it can still dry through front ? Anyone out there ?

[@Danny-ju2ip]

Where can i buy this?? Im in upstate New York

[@Rob-to4mu]

Never backfill until the floor joists are on

[@bigmonkey001]

How long did you wait from the block wall being constructed? I've heard 28 days is what's needed.

[@bulentkarakis]

You don't need to wait for 28 days, when the concrete floor is dry you can start building on it, probably 1-3 days it would take to get dry, depending on the weather conditions. 28 day is the time that the r.c concrete reaches to it's maximum strength.

[@heidinagy6925]

Can I use this product on my garage floors to prevent water penetration on the cracks?

[@D.I.Y._All-in-One]

No, a garage floor epoxy would be better for that.

[@AyiviTV]

Nice! Waterproofings are very interesting. There are many different ways to get them done. Just completed mine. After this video, feel free to take a look. Thanks for sharing.

[@jiffyclean9429]

Why not a airless gun?

[@joshbrewer316]

Doesn't it need to breath though?

[@kristengraham8840]

Did you have to parge it first? I’m getting ready to build my 1st house on a basement. Is this an alternative to parging?

[@moonwolf3378]

Parge, seal, prime and paint.

[@samuelreddy7816]

With just a layer of paint, you will get water leakage after a couple of years. No matter how good the paint is, just the paint alone is not enough, as the wall cracks over time.

[@Yorktown-pb8bd]

I am a licensed building contractor. That wall needs to be parged. Portland cement, lime mortar mix.

Wait, won't this trap humidity in as well?

[@D.I.Y._All-in-One]

The biggest concern is to stop moisture coming in.

[@nemesisfitness72]

hi you mentioned that the thickness of the black product you like to apply is 60 millimetres thick??? that's 6 cm??? do you mean 6 millimetres ? Thanks informative video

[@RegretWhisperer]

a “mil” is 0.001 inches, a thousandth of an inch. so 60 mils is about 1.5mm. for comparison, the plastic sheeting sold in hardware stores is only 6 mils thick

Is it too much to add French drains around it as well?

There is no such thing as overkill when it comes to foundation waterproofing. Cheaper to go above and beyond than dig everything back up and start over again.

2:10 60mil? What's your mil. Hopefully that's not millimetre or you didn't mean sixty?

[@frederf3227]

Typically "mil" is used as a measurement in thickness in thousandths of an inch. 60mil is 0.060 inches.

What is 60 mil thick?? Certainly not 60 mm...

[@me5768]

60 mil, thick, and applying to layers that thick that would be really thick over a quarter inch. There’s no way he’s putting that much on with those brushes . Me personally if I was to do this I would prefer to spray it and just spray two layers or three or four.

[@oakld]

@@me5768 I found in the meanwhile that by mil they mean 1/1000 of an inch. So one foil would be 0,06" or about 1.5 mm thick. What confused me is, that in Ireland "mil" is a short for millimeter.

[@bobgriffin8306]

60 Mil? Where I am, that would mean 6 cm. What do you mean? 60 thou, ie 60 thousandths of an inch?

I know it's been a while but a mil is different than a millimeter. One mil is 0.0254 mm

mil is a different measurement than millimeter/mm

[@geraldbull9272]

Have to say, do you honestly mean 60mm thick

[@D.I.Y._All-in-One]

Mil is a different measurement than millimeter/mm. Mil thickness is a common measurement in manufacturing. A "mil" is a unit of thickness equal to one thousandth of an inch (. 001 inch). To convert mil to inches, take mil and divide by 1000. Example: 2 mil/1000 = .002 inches.

In my metric world "mils" typically is millimetre when talking linear and millilitre as per volume.
