So, I fixed the issue outside FIRST, but wanted to be proactive and I figured hydraulic cement may be able to help!

Waterproofing the outside of my basement was key, but with a 120-year-old house, a little extra protection on the inside can't hurt. In this video, I'm showing you how I used hydraulic cement to patch some damp spots in the basement floor as a preventative measure.

Important Note: Hydraulic cement is a great tool, but it's not a magic solution! You should always address the source of the leak first.

This video is perfect for:

DIY beginners who want to learn how to use hydraulic cement
