Hello Bill,

DryLok Fast Plug has worked well for me many times by applying it where the floor and walls meet.

If you watch closely during the wet times you can see where the water is coming in and focus your attention first on those areas by applying the Fast Plug.

I usually apply it over several applications to make sure it has stopped the leaking and then I apply the sealer.

But, let me say this, if your basement walls have not had any type of sealer applied yet then I would advise painting them first with the sealer and then applying the Fast Plug to the leaking areas. Another coat of sealer after that would be wise too I believe.

Make sure that your outside drainage is doing its job around the entire perimeter of the house also. By teaming up your efforts inside and out you can solve this problem. It is normally not a fast fix but it is worth the time and effort in the long run.

Our home never had a wet basement until about 1 year ago. Why it began seeping water, we do not know.

We have followed advice of plumbing company and put 10 foot gutter extensions on our downspouts.

The water was seeping in on the east side of our basement and we then added the 10 foot gutter extensions. Now the water is coming in on the west aide of our basement. It is as if we simply moved the water around.

Will Dry Lock fast plug work if we apply it to where floor meets the wall and then paint it with dry lock water proofing masonry sealer?
