Sounds too good to be true, any comments, good or bad?
It is too good to be true.
They don't show what happens when the water table rises after
you put that sealer on the floors and walls.
A coat of sealer won't hold back the water for long.
The correct procedure is to break the concrete floor all around the
perimeter, dig a trench, install piping, cover with concrete, leaving
a slit, install sump pump, create drainage holes for the walls so the
walls stay dry.
There are a lot of specialty basement waterproofing companies.
I had it done over 30 years ago. Still dry.
