Question from Hope Fox
We are doing renovation work on our old house in order to improve a wet basement (we want to get rid of an environment where mold can grow!). Our contractor has submitted a proposal that would surface repair any major foundation cracks, apply a tar foundation coating, followed by a Platon membrane system. Do you know of any alternatives to a tar-based foundation sealant that would be as effective in this application? I appreciate the advice!

Take a look at a product called Penetrating Waterstop by AFM. If this isn’t the right one for your application, ask them which of their products would be the one to use.
