Works great in a concrete fish pond!
We built a fish pond several years back and due to cost and ease of use, we pick Drylok Original in the grey color. The grey color perfectly matches our concrete, which looks amazing but harder to tell if you missed a spot painting. We did three coats and pond held water perfectly for almost three years, until we got a small crack in the concrete. Drained the pond, pressure washed, filled hole, let dry, and reapplied the Drylok. Simple process and within two weeks (let cure longer due to cooler temps outside), the pond was water tight again.
Works great, easy to apply, don't have to worry about liner creases and if you do get a leak, simple and easy to repair to be water tight again.

Best for my needs
I bought this white dry lock paint to paint the crawl space in my basement. This was perfect for brightening up the space and blocking moisture I was getting after a hard rain.

Good on Foundations
My house's foundation needed some TLC. Prepped the surface by power washing, scraping portions of the old finish off where peeling, filling cracks with DAP out of a caulk gun and throwing on a very healthy coat of primer once crack repair set and dried. Drylok white went on the following day once the primer set and cured. The drylok is thicker than your average paint, I recommend not spreading it too thin. Ended up with two finish coats. Applied with brush and a large roller. Good stuff.

Beautiful Finish
This product delivered a beautiful finish in an otherwise dreary basement. It’s very thick and the cement kept drinking the first coat Took me over an hour. Once I got that first coat on the second coat was easy breezy. I used both brush and roller. I love the white clean bright look of my newly painted basement. I still have one little section to finish. Thanks drylock ! I would recommend this product.

Excellent, Easy, Safe and Cost Effective
We have a concrete wall that was seeping water through cracks - as much as two inches would accumulate at the base of the wall next to the oil burner. We used 2-3 coats this summer and it took just less than one gallon on a nice 80 degree day and was dry the next day. No leaks at all since! Safe to use right next time the burner too. We left the bulkhead open and wore masks and had no problem with fumes. Great product!!

Very good stain & moisture blocker
Very thick paint. I would definitely recommend this paint for stain blocking and blocking moisture thru your block walls. I used this paint on my walls 15 years ago and it worked very well.

Great Sealer
I am really impressed with this stuff! Coverage and thickness is impeccable and i still have a lot left. Id like to see how it looks in a years time. I wish i had more color options but it has definitely served its purpose of sealing cinder foundation.

A must have for any finished basement or cellar door areas.
Not the easiest to apply but works great. Purchase only when ready to start project and ask the kind paint department associates at your favorite Home Depot to put the bucket on the paint shaker -this will save you a lot of effort. Works great at sealing the block and making it ready to paint. Sealed block is more resistant to moisture intrusion and helps keep the paint in place and last longer. I highly recommend it!
