Homeowners often neglect concrete basement floors when waterproofing the basement. It is a terrible mistake, as a concrete basement floor is the one area of the basement towards which water flows naturally. That is why most builders create drain areas in obscure places in the basement floor which lead through a concrete shaft to the soil under the home. The walls are usually where the water enters the basement, but it rests on the concrete basement floor and erodes the concrete. In good home construction, the exterior basement walls are coated with waterproof paint and drainage placed. You can waterproof your concrete basement floor yourself by following these steps. Step 1 - Prepare the Concrete Basement Floor Prepare the basement floor for the process. Sweep it clean so that the paint will be set without voids. Walk the floor and look for cracks and holes in the surface of the floor. Use the wire brush to clean the sides of the cracks. Doing so removes loose concrete so that you can remove it with a wet/dry vacuum.

These techniques for waterproofing basement floors are for basement floors that are just damp or moist. If your basement floor has standing water or puddles, click on BASEMENT FLOOR WATERPROOFING for two methods that will fix a really wet basement floor. An easy solution for waterproofing basement floors If your basement floor gets damp when it rains, in the spring, or is damp all year long there is one company that has a way of waterproofing basement floors and walls that might be just what you're looking for. This company is called RadonSeal. They have a wet basement floor sealer that will work on old or new basement concrete floors and walls. RadonSeal's basement waterproofing sealer penetrates deep inside the concrete (up to 4 inches), and chemically reacts with the lime and alkali in the concrete. The sealer forms a gel and expands inside the concrete filling all the microscopic pores and cracks, it then hardens as a mineral. This seals the concrete internally against water, water vapor, and even radon gas.
