Anyone waterproof their basement?
The house we want to buy has some issues with water coming through the concrete into the unfinished basement. There is never a great deal of water (barely a puddle), but the bank may find an issue with it. Does anyone know the cost of waterproofing a basement? Have any recommendations for who to use? TIA

We did! Our basement was like yours never took on water maybe a few drops. Before we finished our basement (sheetrock ect) dh sprayed the walls himself with hydrostatic paint. Very worth the extra protection

where the puddle was in our basement DH dug outside the foundation and tarred and put a plastic barrier against the foundation.
We then inside used dry-loc on all the walls. Not one drop of water since and it has been 2 years.
we are in the process of finishing the basement now.
