Should you Paint Basement Walls?

-

What we see out in the field is three types of foundation walls that are being painted. One type are stone foundations. When we see stone foundations that are painted, 92% of them are peeling, which means that only 8% are not. The reason this is happening is because there is mortar in between each stone. These homes were built at least 80 to well over 100 years ago. The mortar in between the stone is decaying. When you put any type of paint on a foundation wall, it has to adhere to the wall. The mortar is old, brittle and moisture wants to come through. It does, and this causes the paint to peel.

Renting can be a way to obtain equipment without the need to spend extra capital. In the short-term, renting can be a great way to save money.
