What’s That Paint on the Walls in the Basement?
We evaluate hundreds of basements for waterproofing issues each year. Many of those basements have paint or coatings on the interior walls. Most of the time, it is a product called Drylok. UGL, makers of this product, have done a tremendous job marketing to you, the homeowner. They claim to “solve water seepage problems” and is “Guaranteed to stop water” with a “Fully transferable 10 year warranty”[1].
As we look at the warranty closer, it is quite clear that the product does not work. As a matter of fact, you must apply these products to “properly prepared bare masonry surfaces”. Moreover, “may be applied over previous coatings in sound condition, but the warranty is void”[2].
Go Dry Waterproofing has been solving basement waterproofing challenges for over 28 years in the Tri Cities. Our warranty is simple, if we waterproof a basement, we guarantee to stop the water into your basement, the end. Call us today for your free evaluation @ 423-863-2909.
