Despite many naysayers, I completed a dog house made of cinder block
located in the side of hill. Cinder block voids filled with concrete.

Used drylok on walls inside and out, and concrete slab floor.

Putting it on the outside was no doubt a good idea. I would expect it
to be far more effective and longer lasting there. These products are not
bad products, but in general people expect too much from them due to the
advertising of the manufacturers. I think I would have added a water
proofing layer, designed for exterior below grade use, over the Drylok
before backfilling, but you are likely to be OK.


Exterior was backfilled with dirt two days after applying the drylok.
Put two carpet remnants on the floor as I anticipated drylok wear
from dog's nails.

Unless you spend alot of time or make many visits to the crawlspace,
wear would not concern me in your case.
I have a crawlspace under part of my house that I would like to
insulate so it's not just wasted space. First off though I'd like to
deal with any possible moisture, radon gas, and bugs that might find
their way in.

My question is this ... can DryLok Latex Masonary Waterproofer be
used on the floor?

My plan is to paint the walls and floor with DryLok Latex Masonary
Waterproofer. There's no real water seeping in, but there is one
section of the wall that has that white powder stuff on it. I'm also
assuming that DryLok will help with keeping radon gas out, which is
the reason why I would also like to use it on the floor (I don't
think I actually have any real issue with radon, but I figure since
I'm down there, why not do it just in case)

Or am I asking for trouble (ie: will it wear away way to quickly on
the floor, etc.)?

Thanks,
Harry
