It was clear that the wall is deteriorating on the inside due to someone trying to seal the wall previously. Paint trapped moisture in the cement, eventually degrading it and leaching the lime out, weakening the cement. By sealing it in again with Flex Seal, you'll accelerate the deterioration. You need to keep water from penetrating on the outside of the wall, all the way to the footing, and drain it away from the foundation. You may also need a sump pump if water remains under the slab. Flex will hide the problem.

My neighbor did this with his basement and loved it. I am planning on doing this in the spring with mine as well to stop the seeping so I can eventually finish the space.

Glad you mentioned addressing the outside first. If you just seal the inside you will build up hydrostatic pressure and possibly crack your concrete foundation. Best thing you can do is regrade your property so that it slopes away from the house for at least 3 ft.

Thank you for taking the time to create this video. People don't truly understand what it takes time wise to create these videos and offer them with the same kind of quality and care that you have. Well done.

Your videos are great. You thoroughly explain the correct procedures.

thank you for showing me the basement wall "paint" by using Flex Seal. The white Flex Seal looks great in the basement, it just looks like you painted white (my preference) and very clean = ❤

I'm so happy for you that you got a sponsor!!

[georgiapeach]

Wow! What a difference. It also looks very bright and clean. Another project done. Something you don't have to worry about in the winter or rainy days. Awesome video as always. 🥰

[Divigne]

Awesome video! Thanks for being so thorough and informational with the product and the project itself! This will certainly save me some money!

I was always skeptical about Flex Seal when watching their ads on TV. But after watching this video, I have a favorable opinion of Flex Seal now. They just now got a new customer. 😊

What a great product, you turned me on to Flex Seal Shot, going to try the FS liquid on my basement, thanks for sharing Matt!!

[dirtyhairy]

Great job, looks awesome and the space looks much bigger now that it's painted/coated in white Flex Seal. Love Flex Seal!👍👍👊

[juneaskew]

EXCELLENT VIDEO! I have this problem in my basement and you explained my problem perfectly!.
My problem now is the entire basement is drywall 🙄

[jimwhite]

Great video, Fixer....very satisfying to watch! Great product too! Thanks

[ShiningSakura]

I love that you explain how to fully fix something inside and out followed by why you can't justify doing it. Pretty common sense stuff. It helps me have an insight on what I can do with my own place even if it has nothing to do with the video at hand.
Fixes can easily be justified and get out of control if you don't take a step back and asses the issues at hand and realistically fix things instead of just redoing the whole house because abc fixes leads to xyz needs doing... while you are at it of course.

Matt I have used on my basement walls 3 walls facing backyard and facing outwards a product called Thoroseal ic came in a 5 gallon bucket metal all powder and mix according to directions and add about 2 ounces of a liquid product called

Thoro T1668 Acryl 60 Cement bonding agent.

The covering has lasted 25 years no water.
We’ll it’s time do do it again. It’s started to peel. So I will scrape what is bubbled and then clean it up and apply with A cement brush the thickness of pancakes mixture.
