1. Relieve Hydrostatic Pressure

Make weep holes into the cells of each block (4" to 6" in from each mortar-joint ) at the point where the floor and wall meet. Solid poured concrete walls have no cavities, so weep holes are not required.

See a video of this step

2. Prepare the Surface Properly

To properly bond and seal the system to the concrete floor, the floor area along the wall approximately 3" wide must be stripped to bare concrete. To remove all paint or tile adhesive, use a 3M metal paint stripper wheel with your electric drill.

3. Clean the Surface Properly

It’s very important that you do this step properly. After floor area has been stripped, wash with clear water and sponge to remove all dirt and dust. When finished feel the area with your fingers for any loose grit left behind.

4. SquidGee Dry SealOnce™

Angle cut the tip just under the cone shaped end. This will give the large opening needed for applying SquidGee SealOnce™ to all surfaces. One tube of SquidGee SealOnce™ is needed for each 4 ft 6 inch Main section.

5. Placing Pre-molded Corners

Begin by placing pre-molded corner sections in all the corners. Mark the floor in front of the corners showing where the main sections will stop.

6. Cut and Fit the Baseboard Sections

Now you are ready to cut and trial-fit the main sections along the basement walls.
