I am looking for a basement wall waterproofing system that is injected into ground on outside of basement wall

Has anyone had any experience with BrightWall paneling system to help with waterproofing a basement?

We have a basement that is very damp. We need something that will make the basement usable for now. Eventually we'd like to treat the foundation issues from the outside but for now we need something fast so we can use the basement for office space.

For now it looks like the BrightWall paneling system is a good bet. but I can't find ANY reviews of the system or the product.

Anyone have any experience or know anyone that has any experience with a paneling system to combat moisture in the basement?

Here is the hard truth ! All basement are damp, moldy places.You can spend 10 dollars or 100,000 dollarts and you are going to have a damp, moldy basement. Anything you ever put into the basement will midew in a few hours. The place will always have that dank smell. What would you use it for anyway ? I have seen people make recreation rooms, spare bed rooms, hobby rooms etc and none of them are ever used because they stink . How many dry, airy, nice cheerful basements do you know of ? MMMM ?
Sump pumps, outside drains, outside pumps, all sorts of wall treatments, inside and out, under floor drains are all a waste of money.
Leave it alone !

Im trying to waterproof my basement walls and floors. Heard there was a spray on system. Anyone know of it?

Just trying to avoid dampness. Moving a bedroom to the finished part of the basement but concerned about dampness.

I have wrote an article on eHow called: How to Complete Basement Waterproofing. It is a do it yourself article. I am not selling anything, just sharing my knowledge. I'll paste some info below. Check out the article if you like, it has a lot of information and may get you started. Even if you do not do it yourself, you will understand the processes.

From the article:

If water seepage into your basement is an occasional problem, the steps to complete the waterproofing will be less involved. Sealing the basement walls with Waterproofing Masonry Sealer, followed by painting will usually do the job.

Begin by cleaning the affected basement walls with a wire brush and a household cleaning solution. Remove as much debris and dirt as possible. A clean surface will allow the waterproofing sealer to better adhere to the walls.

Waterproofing Masonry Sealers are sold at most hardware stores. The sealer is packaged in paint cans or buckets. These sealers have a thick consistency and can be messy, so be prepared. Apply the waterproofing sealer to the walls and be sure to entirely coat the surface. Be sure any mortar joints are coated. You can try to apply the sealer using a paint roller. While this will work, you likely will also need to use a paint brush to fill in some bare areas.

Allow the first coat of sealer to completely dry. You will then apply a second coat. Again, be sure the sealer coverage is even and complete.

You can then paint over the masonry sealer for appearance purposes. Consider painting with a waterproof masonry paint. For best results, first apply a primer coat and then paint.
