Best Exterior Waterproofing Method New Cons.

[jam]

I will be putting in drain pipe with silt sleve and filling the entire excavated area around the basement walls with gravel.

I am not sure about the best method or product to use to seal the exterior of the block walls.

I am looking at Drylok and Eco-Flex.

I am also looking at putting a coating of radon seal under either of these products.

These seem to be better than tar or just smearing the blocks with mortar.

Please give me any feadback on the above products or any other recomendations for the best sealer to use on below grade block walls.


Thanks in advance for the help.

There are many products out on the market for exterior new construction waterproofing. I would suggest looking into a rubber or modified asphalt coating that is rated as waterproofing. We are no longer offer any of these products but you can check out Tuff-N-Dry, Rub R Wall, Marflex or HouseGuard.

Which would you put on your house?

Or are they all about the same?

I am having trouble finding unbiased info on all the different products out there.

I will check out the ones you mentioned, again thanks for the help.
