It’s dry as a bone in my basement! Still holding up and this summer has brought some of the most insanely heavy rain since I’ve lived in this house, still dry! I definitely recommend this!
It’s a cloth tape with an adhesive backing. You apply this to cracks and seems and paint over it with the paintable rubber to make a leakproof seal. Without the tape, there’s nothing to assist bridging the gap of the rubber.
I did the work on August 5, 2023 and here we are October 4, 2023 and my basement is showing no signs of leaks from the chimney. I consider this job fixed! I do plan to go back up there for another coating to ensure it’s solid for the winter but I am pleased with this result. Thanks for checking in!
Thanks for the vid and the link to purchase the materials. Exactly what I’m looking for.
Would you recommend doing the same thing but with tar? Good day to you!
I don’t have experience with tar but I know it’s a common roofing material. This however is still holding up and I have no more leaks.
I’m about to try this. Are you still happy and no leaks?
Still no leaks! Everything that got wet prior to this fix is still dry as a bone from after the fix. Definitely do it!
How about now? Still holding up?

Hope it stops the leak
Thanks! Me too, I need a big rain storm to come through, I think I am forecasted for one tomorrow. I'm hoping for a dry basement tomorrow!
Did it work ??
It sure did! Haven’t seen a drop since.
WHAT IS THE WHITE STUFF?
