Dont purchase NOT a long term solution
If your looking to waterproof a space DONT use this product it's not a long term solution. I have been in contact with the company for over a month and they DONT warrant the product. Ask any local waterproofing company they will tell you the same thing, drylok is junk.I had a BRAND new wall used the product did 4 coats, followed all of the instructions to the T and efflorescence shows through paint peels and water comes through.The company asked me to TRY again lol and repurchase the product. proof is in the pictures...applied on a new wall and you can see this is in no way a good product

    I used the gray color to paint the columns on the outside of the house that hold up the deck. The columns are covered with white stucco that was staining. Now they look like concrete and the product keeps the water from soaking into the stucco

    Looks great!! I used it on the outside cement block foundation. It is very thick but goes on easily. I assume it will hold up because I have used on my inside cellar walls 15 years ago and it still looks good.

    Works exactly as advertised! Low odor and looks great. Used over 12 gallons on my basement; each gallon covers 100 sq feet (i.e. a 10’ x 10’ space), and that isn’t far off. I needed two heavy coats on all surfaces. Looks great after tho.

    Applied this product to part of the basement that had moisture issues on the side opposite a sump pump. The moisture issues included damp concrete, not pooling water or major water issues. That same year, all the areas that showed moisture before painting still showed moisture. Before painting, the walls were cleaned and the paint was mixed well, then sprayed for the first coat and rolled for a second coat. After 1 year I cleaned some of the moisture areas and repainted with leftover paint, but the moisture came right back. The only plus I can think of is that it went on easy and adhered well, although the adherence is now a negative if we have to strip the whole thing off to use epoxy or something stronger. Photos are 2 years later of the wall showing efflorescence, the corner and side wall.

      DOESN'T WORK
      I used this product on block walls that would get damp inside my home when it rained. No visible water,just dampness. it was applied when the walls were dry. No paint or coatings had previously been applied and ther are no cracks or damage to the walls. After a few rains, the Drylock lost it adhesion,peeled, and fell off the walls.I could take it off the walls with my finger. I am amazed this product is still around, do not purchase it. . .

      Good product
      Applied this paint to the basement walls of an investment property and I am very happy with the outcome. Made the old grey cinder block walls look like new.

      Expect to use A LOT of this paint due to it being EXTREMELY THICK. There is also a TEXTURE (probably some type of sand) that is in the paint. If you need to make repairs to blemishes or cracks this stuff is incredible. Usually shows best with at least two coats if not three.

      We had to buy quite a bit of this for our basement. It is very expensive, BUT it looks so good! We used a roller and did 2 thick coats. Fills in the cracks nicely.
