Can this product prevent water from seeping out of hairline cracks in basement floor after heavy rainfall?

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.

It's barely thicker than water; I'm not sure how well it will flow INTO those cracks, but I imagine it would flow in a little bit and hold it together. Might not be the best product to use, but I think it might work.

In the times I have used Flex Seal, it has worked in all instances to stop leaks. I have use it around basement concrete to stop rain leaks, and I have use it in down spouts to stop water leaks. I have use the white color option.

Hello, I'm also in Chicago as well. I used this product during the fall for several basement foundation cracks when temperature was still in the 60's. I was able to contact the manufacturer to order additional parts and pieces. They were very helpful and should be able inform you of the exact product temperature range. The product worked extremely well to date. No leaks.

Don't think this is the product your needing. This won't protect from cracking more. It will protect some moisture getting in;since its wax based.

i've had this shelter for about a year and since day 1 it has dripped along the seams in the rain. I think you could fix it by applying some kind of glue or sealant along the seam lines, but I just haven't done it.

Yes. It repels water just like normal caulk. However, because it never fully hardens, you want to be careful how you apply it and make sure it stays intact after application.

I do not think that is possible. This product will stop cracks from spreading if they're not much bigger than the application area, approximately 3/8ths of an inch.

I have a new washing machine that spins like crazy. So my rugs were just damp. They dried in 24 hours in Basement. Maybe a 2nd spin/evacuate water sequence could help you?

The patio floor will become wet only if the relative humidity is very, very high. Most hots days even with high relative humdity the moisture will stay around a bit longer. The product does work but you have to keep it clean (nozzles) and it must be near an AC outlet and obviously a water (hose) connection. Also, don't put it right in front of you at a very close distance as the high fan setting with moisture spray will leave a little damp spots here and there. However, the whole point of the device is to cool the air around you with a mist spray.

floor is 5 feet by 5 feet and center height is almost 6 feet. Have not been in it in a heavy rain yet, so cannot answer leaking question. Most blinds I have been in leak along the seams in a heavy rain. If you spray waterproof chemicals on the seams it will help stop the leaking. This a very well built and durable blind.

No, you will just send the moisture back into the basement air. Get a real dehumidifier.

This product is not the best choice due to the humidity and water that will be present in that area. You would be better off using a waterproof varnish (found at a hardware store) or the Liquitex Soluvar Varnish.

Hello from Baltimore. We bought this system months ago when our basement was really damp. I still have more than half a bag of the crystals left and there isn't a trace of dampness left in our basement. It is somewhat dependent on how much moisture is in the room if you can't keep it reasonably monitored (say every two days). However, if you keep watch and pour out the water every other day or so it should last for quite some time. Just to give a little better perspective, we have a big house with a full cellar. It works wonders for us. Hope I've helped.

I would seal in zip locks, just to be safe, because mine did allow a little moisture in. I followed the instructions explicitly, but the fabric itself allowed some water to weep through.

I guess it could, Im not an expert. I would make sure the floor is wiped clean so the hydroban sticks. I guess I don't understand why you would need to water proof under carpet? I would think you'd want the water to dry out threw the cement if it got wet

I keep it under a porch roof, but when rain has blown in, the contents have remained dry. My suspicions are that in direct rain, it would keep contents dry, but not prevent dampness from humidity.
