The problem I had when I did this is that it seals water from getting inside the house, but not from entering the foundation. So in time, the foundation gets saturated with nowhere for the water to go. Better to apply a skim coat of colored concrete which you can make nice and flat. That way things breathe and last longer.
Need a ventilator spraying in that environment
his lungs. but I agree
@@rieleyduysen17 yeah. Comment mostly for anyone who is watching that wouldn’t think about something like that. He’s the ‘professional’ and has clearly already made the decision that lung issues are not of concern.
I just survived painting on 2 gallons of kilz oil inside..only lost 1/3 of my brain cells..🤣🤣
Yes! Protect yourself!
@@pootthatbak2578 spend $35 on a filtered respirator. Why would you wanna spray that, unless you have nicotine or smoke damage.
You need to be really concerned with ground water and the fact that when you seal something like this you’re creating a reverse swimming pool, lotta forces at play.
But you know what I heard, that you have to let the stone breathe or it will begin to breakdown over time. It is better to put up a false wall just in front of the stone assuming it’s not leaking when it rains, and leave the stone alone if possible
I went over my dungeon basement walls with white stucco. Looks like drywall. Or you could clean and point and seal the stone and make it look beautiful again.
That's right. Don't paint your basement walls. It's just trapping moisture in the stone or concrete. Installing a vapor barrier and insulation is the way to do it and then you can drywall over it. You have to allow the moisture to move through the wall or else it deteriorates the walls.
I was reading the specs and info on that drylok product and it says it allows the concrete to breathe and it doesn’t trap moisture
I don’t know how it waterproofs while still being breathable but that’s what the manufacturer says on the home depo websites product page
@@davidramey7186 well I hope so! Because I did it then remembered what happened at my moms house but that was not drylock
Never ever ever ever waterproof from the interior. This is almost criminal. Please let me know where you do this….. I love being the expert witness in cases where things like this are done.
You can absolutely waterproof from the inside, just not this way. Jackhammer down beside the footing, install 4" O running to a sump pump, then delta up the wall, gravel and re-cement.
@@atarileaf Better to dig down along the exterior and install an elastomeric coating and keep the water from going into the foundation wall.
Negative side waterproofing is temporary at best
Better yet frame up green treated 16" o.c. stud walls with green treated bottom plate all plumb, straight and level with stainless steel nails. Sheeted with 4x8 peg board then set up a de-humidifier on a permanent basis. My guess is those sandstone rubble walls date this house back to the year 1850 +/- and if still structurally sound it is because the soft vintage stone and even softer tooled joints have not been molested with modern hard "Portland cement" by design these old world walls need to breathe. Trap moisture behind a sprayed and or cement plaster and the walls will accelerate into a condition of unnecessary premature deterioration/decay and eventual collapse. There is wonderful literature available to homeowners, contractors and engineers who may embark upon the care of historic buildings. Utilizing a best practices approach to restoration and/or rehabilitation of the oldest architecture one may find in a district or community.
That's interesting. I wonder if they got experience with root cellars or if it's even older technology from Europe. I have a stacked stone foundation and I don't know the exact date of the build but it had knob and tube wiring and I think they stopped doing that in the late 30s. I could definitely be wrong about that. Post and beam type construction. No mortar, just stone that I can see. I guess it could have dissolved? The basement had bad drainage issues and flooded many times. Love old buildings.
how will it dehumidify when it's behind the drywall??
@@gtarules1 hence the peg board with holes no drywall to be incorporated into the design (drywall AKA gyp board with joint compound would be bad).
Interesting how your trying to stop the water as it’s entering. Wouldn’t you want to stop the water from entering in the first place.
Because they're cheap
Like others have said this is a bad idea as it will shorten the life of the foundation wall. If you are looking for the visual I would recommend using a mineral paint.
Drylock is alright, but once eater saturates the sandstone. It will start to dissolve, and will peel or crumble the paint. It's only good for a short time at best
I bet he's got a candy shell in his lungs too.
😂😂😂😂😂
Really shouldn't coat mortar. It will degrade and crumble and leak after years. Gonna end up having to repoint that whole basement in a couple decades
Yep, Don't "Drylock" old basements it causes the mortar to fail. Places where the paint failed the mortar is still solid, where the dry lock adhered well it bubbles and the mortar just falls out.
Don’t ever do this. You create a lot of hassle for the guy that has to take it off when he buys it
He left the old flaky lime whitewash on the wall. The guy coming in to do the job properly will easily chip off the coating and that will take the pesky whitewash with it.
Dry until the foundation is destroyed from holding all that water. If it freezes there, it will happen sooner. The ONLY way to truly waterproof a basement is from outside. I listened and you're not trying to waterproof, just make it look nice, but you may have caused more issues than you solved. Sorry to be a bummer but....
Ya I was thinking of your just trying to make it look ice to parge it.
Obviously that doesn’t address waterproofing it only smooths and look nice.
But that’s what he said his goal was. And that way the parge coat would still weep moisture like any other masonry so any water getting through the foundation comes in to dry as it already has been for years before doing the parge coat.
Yes definitely only was to truly waterproof is from outside, this will just make the stone hood the water rather than let it dry to the inside and dooom the foundation quicker than it previously was.
He said he wasn't trying to waterproof. Only using it as a base for a nice paint job.
@@notanexpert2978 yes but all stone allows some water to pass through.
So moisture from the outside can seep in and instead of being able to dry into open air inside it’s then trapped inside the foundation causing excessive wear especially with freezing.
So the point is before it was more able to dry as now even if his pint wasn’t to waterproof its now giving a negative effect by using this product.
Could’ve parged it then painted. Sure parging is a bit more work but could help strengthen the wall a bit using a good mix, and provide a cleaner surface,
@@notanexpert2978 I know what he said. He even stated to that point, but....he used a fairly good waterproofing product, so it looks nicer now but it may cause more issues than it solved. That was the point of my comment.
Sand blast, chip and re-point is most beautiful idea (totally not a masons opinion)😜
Why didn't he show the paint and the finished product afterwards??
Perhaps a coating to smooth it out to make it look like a finished wall? The roughness makes it look like a dungeon.
Not cist effective. Lots of labor and material. Parging (what your referring to) is a cement base, but costly, plus you'd need a primer because sandstone crumbles, which prevents adhesion.
Hardiboard the wall and paint. Allows for temperature expansion and humidity
did you mitigated outside water? your just going to build up hydraulic pressure on the foundation doing that if water is more than just natural absorption
F the look when you leave the porous stone open to the air it dries. Now the stone will hold moisture and crack when it freezes.
Trust me, it does just dry. 😅
I'm pretty sure those walls need to breath, so if you waterproof them, the moisture will just rise and cause damp
Some primer and paint on the beams would help also.
Doesn't sandstone need to breathe, so painting it will make the stone breakdown over time?
Don't yoy have to watter proof it from the outside?
Dry lock is the question east worst to use. Use two part epoxy resin
What you need to do first is seal the outside
“It is a waterproofing material, but that’s not what I’m using it for” video literally titled “Basement Waterproofing” 🤷♂️
Funny how key search words work
I really don't get this..if you walk into a basement and it's freshly painted or without an dirt marking,wear marks..be immediately spooked that someone did a bunch of shade tree repairs, like smear cement in places that need repair and then painted the lipstick on a pig..if you are in a home this age and don't know what the foundation looks like.. stick to a new house.. this going to have you jumping off a bridge.. and if you are looking for money in your sofa to afford the house.. again don't buy an older house..
spalling limestone in 3.2.1.
I’ve always been told you don’t seal in anyway the inside of a sandstone/limestone foundation but the outside of it. Needs to be able to breathe.
I Learn so much from your content! Ty 👍
Please don't ever do this. Total nightmare when it's flaking off causing a huge mess
My mom owns a triplex apartment from 1870..... basement foundation is made of boulders. Stays dry too. The house is bullet proof.
Bull crap band-aid. Man up and go outside and dig down to the footing. Smear roofing tar a half inch thick on the outside foundation and stick 4 mill polly to the tar. Fill in and tamp down. Divert future rain water away. Nothing else will do.
Could you send it flush first?
Ppl buy those types of houses just for the look of the sand stone. I have waterproofed houses like that in Wisconsin
Wow amazing tip
I had a stone foundation in my first house and I tap con som studs and ran cedar decking on the walls.
I'd have to parge the wall first before preparing the surface but that's just me
What if the mortar has washed out of the joints?
Tuck point with the formulated soft mortar mix original to the wall. By design the softer joints should fail rather than allow the soft sandstone blocks. Modern "Portland Cement" cures way to to hard and destroys the structural integrity of the blocks.
Do you have a full video on this job?
It's funny how people do stuff like this when they're about to sell the house instead of doing it while they're living in the house and actually have something nice for themselves but instead give something nice to the next buyer that always confused me why wouldn't you want your basement to be nice while you're living there??
bro you know everything
There is a candy shell in your lungs now probably, use a respirator!
This is what I think of when I hear the screams of tomorrows dinner calling out at night.
No waterproofing here.
Say and stone.
Looks like a Pittsburgh basement!
Just collect bad concrete from the concrete companies and have them dump it into your basement till it's gone 🤣
Can you use that for a cinder block wall?
Dont
So no mask?
Please….. protect your lungs.. where oh where is your respirator? This looks crazy!!
Hi Jeff
Bro you need to be wearing some kind of mask when spraying like that
Still creeping me out after spraying.."put the dog in the bucket" everything was fine until Clarice went into the psycho killers cellar
That just looks horrible quit destroying antique homes
basement still looks like cvp camp
Put a mask on when you're spraying that stuff.
I’ve only got a handyman license and I’ve done custom baths and walk in showers for friends. I look around and my work is better than many licensed. Im in my mid forties do u have any advice?
What a vague question
Isn't that kinda how the Flip or flop lady poisoned herself, with shoddy practices?
No mask needed?
Hmmm inhaling fumes
Healty!
You think that’s a dungeon, you should see my moms basement. And it’s MAYBE 5 and a half feet high
Loving you man, and your chill vibe.
But y u not wearing a mask bruh?
🥹🌅
Good job
Yeah, dude; you're FIRED!
You're actually doing the next homeowner a disservice. But, leave your business card, so the new homeowner can call you, to pay you, to fix that mess. Way to go to get more work!
Please stay outa the trades!
This is a great way to fool buyers. Nice guy.
Smart
Jeez WEAR A MASK, man!
And you wore no mask.
lipstick
Homes like that shouldn’t be allowed anymore. Bulldoze it down and built it from scratch
How come?
My house was built in 1912... I would love to. Please send me a check for the demolition and building of a new home and I'll get right on it
@@xXVintersorgXx sure thing, right after a take a shit
@@stavroslask1292 chop chop. Shit or get off the pot
What kind of cleaning or prep work do you have to do before hand? There are hundreds of years of dust and dirt on most basement walls. How crazy do you have to go cleaning it?
If this dude works how he looks….
just parge it
If you had a clue you would tank the entire basement waterproofing it properly.
It’s lipstick
@@BathroomRemodelingTeacher whatever that means ?
Yeah, that's cool bro but I power wash those walls and parts them first. And then let it dry 30 days and then hit it with dry lock.
