Garage Build #23 - Foundation Waterproofing

We rolled on asphalt water sealant onto our CMU block. We used a regular paint roller and that seemed to work the best and was quicker than brushing it on. This will be a last resort measure because the plan is to use a dimple mat that will be an impermeable barrier to keep water out.

The most important piece of basement waterproofing is a good drainage system.

One excellent use for any left-over foundation sealer that I've found, is to mix it "about" 50% with mineral spirits and "paint" your wood plank trailer floor. Better than oil!
