Anyone got any tips on how to waterproof a fieldstone basement? Expand Short term you may be able to use one of the Flex Seal line of products. Another option is to use a Quick Dam(s) to absorb water Quick Dam 10 ft. Flood Barrier QD610-1 - The Home Depot Home Depot also sells portable sump pumps. Also use space heaters to keep the basement warm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand we had the same problem and have since put gutters on this old house, yeah we didn't have them, and pointed all the gaps between the stones, then applied multiple coats of water proofing paint, we used drylox, but there's a number of them you can use, I know it's tedious but it makes a huge difference, and the dam for short term issues I'd go with 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand At my brother's house we filled any cracks with a product that I can't remember right now, flex seal will work, then we painted all the stone with Drylok, he ended up putting two coats on and he still gets a little water but nothing like he used to get.

NW_of_GYX Posted January 11, 2024 Share Posted January 11, 2024 another 4-6" of slop incoming and then warm sector. Not sure it helps local trails here unless we get some cold nights, hopefully that happens next week.

Anyone got any tips on how to waterproof a fieldstone basement? Expand Absolutely do not use flex seal to water proof your basement. I hope that guy was not being serious. There are only two ways to keep/get the water out. A correctly installed French drain that is backfilled correctly is the best. Obviously if you don't already have that then a quality sump is your only route unless you want to fork over a heap of cash to go digging around your whole house. Gutters with downspouts draining well away will help, everything else is a bandaid. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
