☞ How to Waterproof a Basement Using the SealOnce Basement System:

First, start by applying a 1/2 in high bead of SealOnce Adhesive to the bottom of your main section. It’s important to have a high even bead because your concrete floor could be a little uneven.

When setting the main section in place, you want to keep it a fingers width away from the wall. This is done by placing your fingers between wall and the top of the system.

Set it straight down on the floor and slightly move it left and right. That will seat the glue into the floor nice.

Next, you want to tilt the top back to the wall. With your thumbs, slide the bottom now until the system stands straight up and down, but not tight against the wall at the bottom. Just take care that you don't over do it and squeeze all that glue out from underneath the system.

This should give you a nice structural bond to the floor.

Now, all we need is a water-tight seal where the system meets the floor. This is done by applying a finish bead along the front edge.

Using our specially designed Perfect SealOnce Tool notice how we raise the handle until the straight edge of our tool rubs flush against the face of the system. Holding the tool in this position slowly drag it all the way down the system leaving a perfect seal.n

Next, you can pick up the square nose tool for clean up. If you can do this, you’ll never have a wet basement again!

With our new Perfect SealOnce Tool, drying up your wet basement is easier than ever.
