Will this work for basement floors to fill &amp; *seal* cracks where water comes through (during heavy rains)? I'm not able to use hydraulic cement.

It worked very well for me outside to fill cracks. I don't see why it would not do the same thing indoors!

My educated guess only: as a retired engineer and not a product specialist for this Glue. Based of my usage of this product if you sew your sole by applying this glue (before glue dries and apply some more as sealant on the thread after sewing. It might serve as water proofing I believe the glue would prevent water to pass through in short period of time. Long term I don't know. Best to call Aleene's company, thier phone # (800) 438-6226 and ask them. We do that all the time as an application Engineer. They should know the capability of their product - hope this helps

So what you are asking is whether you can use it to seal the grout in between the tiles. My guess is that if the grout is like concrete it might go into the grout, unless it is too smooth and hard on the surface. However, you probably would have needed to seal the concrete before laying the tiles since there must be water soaking up through. Best bet is to go to the RadonSeal web site and call their tech support number.

No it is to set and epoxy rebar into concrete. Hydraulic cement is what you want to place around your plumbing

Depending upon your application it will work as a moisture barrier you only need to use some type of sealing tape for the seams, duct tape or 3" package sealing tape works fine. If you have known moisture issues, you will need to use the more expensive self-sealing underlayment with built in vapor barrior. Your other option is to use 3ml visqueen between the concrete floor and this poly foam base. I hope this helps

Not well, it's a temporary fix. Moisture is it's biggest enemy . If it's for indoor use, you'll be fine. nothing will adhere to concrete when moisture is involved, no matter how well you prep it.

We did, and it worked wonderfully. We did however use some concrete floor leveler to fill in the gaps between concrete slabs and help level out places around drains, plumbing etc... After we poured the leveler and let it dry, we used a hand grinding block to smooth those areas out nicely. A good vacuum and wipe down with a wet rag, and it was good to go. It went down very nicely on the concrete and looks great. Definitely happy with the outcome in our basement. Hope this helps.

After posting my comment I just happen to read someone else's that says he ruined his shovel bit on the basement floor. At least thats what i think he's saying. If so then he didn't quite understand the shovel bit is not for concrete or cement. Its for hard dirt or clay. The tool has work perfectly for me and unless your using it on a daily basis or trying to bust 4 foot thick walls down this thing will work fine. yes the case sucks and the handle sucks. but with a little modifications this "can" be a great tool. Lets not forget the price either fellas... i would buy this again and again... After posting my comment I just happen to read someone else's that says he ruined his shovel bit on the basement floor.

We set up at a festival on concrete with sandbag weights, and were amazed to stay 98% dry in a DELUGE. It rained so long and hard that our neighbor's tent as well as many other vendors' tents collapsed along with the entertainment stage! Rain water ran under us and above us, and we stayed mostly dry. DO NOT attempt to poke at the ceiling in an effort to displace water. The design prevents water accumulation. Other vendors did this, so we followed suit, and that was when we got a leak. It sealed itself after several minutes, and we were drier.

Not sure. I used it to apply kevlar skid plates to my royalex canoe. I had deep gouges but no cracks. Good luck.

Yes it can be used to fill holes in concrete. If the hole is less than 3/4 inch I think the liquid repair is preferred. The liquid does best to repair cracks.

No, it would work anyplace you need to reduce humidity by a large amount. Note: We had to set ours at a slight tilt toward the drain end otherwise it would leave puddles of water underneath. Our basement is just painted concrete block walls and poured painted concrete floors, not finished but with teh lower humidity, it is now a great storage area.

Can't say forsure but I don't think IT would. I've got three in my house on concrete tile and hardwood. Tested them with water and the defintely work well!

I would do a couple Google searches just to make sure, but I would imagine it should be just fine over concrete. I used it over self-leveling concrete which was over a plywood base and then put the flooring directly over it and it seems to be working great. It is a combination sound/vibration/moisture/ventilation pad.

I don't think it would. It dries like rubber.If I were you.I would get a cement crack sealer that dries like cement.This levels off.But it seeped into the crack after a few weeks.Get something that dries like cement.

That is exactly why I bought it-a limestone basement wall that was seeping. Yes it should if it isn't too extensive. I assume concrete would not be as bad/porous as crumbling limestone. So far I have used two coats but have to do that to see where it is still leaking. It appears to be a really effective product if repair is within reason (not sure mine is) L. Bane, Pittsburgh, PA

My experience is with a unfinished concrete basement floor that was not level, and it drained out about .05 inches, then I just needed a dry mop. It was great and fast.
