Does this system work on concrete block foundations?
Yes. The SANI-TRED® system is specifically engineered to work on poured concrete, concrete block, brick, and even stone foundations. It fills the pores and mortar joints, creating a permanent rubberized seal that water cannot penetrate.
How does this compare to traditional basement "paints"?
Standard waterproofing paints are typically thin and brittle, meaning they eventually flake off when water pressure builds up behind them. Our liquid rubber system is flexible and penetrates the concrete, meaning it expands and contracts without losing its bond.
Will this eliminate the "musty" smell in my basement?
Absolutely. By stopping water entry and sealing out ground moisture, we eliminate the damp environment where mold and mildew thrive. This results in a basement that smells fresh and feels as dry as the upper levels of your home.
Is the installation process disruptive to my home?
Because our products are solvent-free and non-flammable, there are no harsh chemical fumes to worry about during installation. We prioritize a clean workspace and aim to complete the waterproofing process with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Can I finish my basement after it has been waterproofed?
Yes. Once the system is fully cured, it provides the perfect dry environment for framing, drywall, or flooring. Waterproofing is the most critical first step before investing in a finished basement or family room.
