Hi! I just stumbled across this forum while trying to find some answers about concrete and basements. I am remodeling my basement and was planning on doing some type of painted concrete or epoxy floor. The house is about 60yrs old. There are several areas of the slab that I have tested with a taped down plastic sheet to find that it gets pretty damp. Also, there were some holes in the slab where walls had been demoed. We recently had a ton of rain in a short time and a good bit of water rose up through the holes. I had planned on patching those as a start, but from there, not real sure what to do! I was thinking of using a sealer and then doing the epoxy type floor, but not sure if you can do both or if an epoxy would work with the moisture that is present... Also, not sure on how to prep the floor if I am going to do something like this. There was carpet there at one time so there is a decent amounbt of adhesive and maybe even some type of sealer in some spots. Does anybody have any experience with a similar situation? Thanks
