Well, It has bee 2 years since I coated half my basement walls with Sani Tred and Half Drylock. You can read that post Here: Sani Tred Vs Drylock. The recent storms in the northeast, snow and rain.

The blacktop dirveway also has some low spots that are pushing water aginst the foundation. I have put fixing the driveway on my plans. I removed the wood paneling from the corner with...
