akarka; sealing a basement from the inside is akin to caulking a boat from the inside, or like sticking your finger in a dyke. At some point it will leak. However, that said, it is also realized that you are accomplishing this sealing after the house/foundation was built. Sooo, your solution of using DryLoc on the walls is both understandable and acceptable. Properly applied, it should do the job just fine. For the floor, why not the DryLoc also. Again, with good preparation, you should be able to achieve equally as good results. I would go to DryLoc's website if you have any real concerns about the floor, and pose those questions directly to the manufacturer. In the same vane, I would try the websites of Sika, Master Builders, Euclid, and W.R.Grace. They are all nationally recognized producers of concrete repair and maintanance products, concrete admixtures, as well as manufacturer's of similar products for masonry applications; i.e. including many and varied types of sealers. regards; Jerry Janson
