Here we have an updated tutorial on how to seal your basement walls to protect against moisture damage. Any questions? Feel free to leave us a comment with any pictures below.


Basement walls can collect moisture due to the humidity of being underground. Moisture can also seep through the walls from the outside. To keep your basement walls in good condition, it is a good idea to seal them. Basement walls can be sealed to help lock out moisture, which may lead to mold, mildew, and erosion problems. It is best to seek professional advice or do some research prior to attempting this project.

Knowing how to seal basement walls will serve you well, this information can be found online. Here are some basic guidelines to help you with sealing your basement walls. Be sure the walls have been cleaned and are free of dirt, dust, and other grime that may keep the sealer from penetrating. It is best to use water and concrete or brick cleaner depending on what your basement walls are made of. Be sure there is proper drainage on the basement floor.

How To Seal Brick Walls

by Scott Paul ~ Restoring Concrete Since 1993 February 22, 2024

 How To Seal Brick Walls 2025

Concrete Sealer Review continues to be a dedicated resource for concrete and brick paver sealer professional tips and advice since 1993. Here we have an updated tutorial on how to seal brick walls. If you have sealed brick walls or have any questions, feel free to leave us a comment below.


Brick can come in a variety of forms and be used in many applications of construction. Whether a form of brick is used in house construction be it a retaining wall, chimney, pillars, the house itself, etc., it should be sealed to lock out moisture. Penetrating moisture can deteriorate the brick making it brittle. It can also lead to unsightly problems like efflorescence, fading, discoloration, mold, mildew, or algae. Sealing the brick with a quality brick sealer will provide a protective coat of armor against these contaminants and help to prolong the longevity of the brick.

Prior to sealing brick of any type the surface first needs to be cleaned. Use a quality brick cleaner to break up the dirt and grime. Using a pressure washer, clean the area of the bricks including the mortar joints to remove discoloring dirt, mold, mildew, and grime. If the bricks are suffering from salt leakage be sure to use efflorescence cleaner. If you do not have access to a pressure washer, use brick cleaner and warm water and scrub the brick with a stiff brush. After cleaning allow the brick to dry for a day or two.

My Best Sealer for Brick Walls to Prevent Water Penetration

Bricks are used for many aspects of construction and are considered one of the strongest and longest-lasting building materials in history. They can be made of clay, concrete, stone, ceramic, or lime and sand. Like other exterior building materials, a brick wall should be sealed to slow the effects of weathering. When moisture is allowed to penetrate the brick, the damaging effects can cause cracking, breaking, crumbling, and efflorescence problems.

Why Seal Chimneys

by Scott Paul ~ Restoring Concrete Since 1993 May 12, 2024

Update for 2025 – Why Seal Chimneys

This refreshed piece discusses the topic: Why Seal Chimneys? If you’ve come across any problems, have any ideas, or inquiries, feel free to leave a comment below.


One of the most potentially problematic areas of a home can be the chimney. Chimneys are more prone to water damage because they extend above the roofline making them more vulnerable. Water damage is a 1 billion dollar per year problem and many water-related issues like efflorescence, freeze/thaw damage, deterioration, and structural failure start with the chimney.

How to Seal a Chimney

by Scott Paul ~ Restoring Concrete Since 1993 February 27, 2024

Update for 2025: How to Seal a Chimney

In this updated article, we explain How to Seal a Chimney. If you have encountered any issues and have any suggestions or have any questions, please comment below.


One of the most problematic areas of a home is the chimney. Water and moisture can cause scaling, deterioration, spalling, water intrusion in the home, and freeze/thaw damage. Waterproofing and sealing a chimney can be vital to its structural integrity.

Before sealing a brick chimney, clean the surface with a brick cleaner to remove all curing compounds or visible stains such as mold, mildew, efflorescence, or rust. The chimney should be clean and free of dirt, oil, dust, and any unwanted contaminants. For severe mold, mildew, fungus, or algae use a bleach solution.

When dealing with a chimney, it is important to practice safety and never get on a ladder or roof without the proper knowledge and experience. Wear chemical-resistant gloves and safety glasses when handling cleaning solutions.

How to Seal a Brick Wall

Update – How to Seal a Brick Wall

In this updated article, we explain How to Seal a Brick Wall. If you have encountered any issues and have any suggestions or have any questions, please comment below.


There are just as many different types of bricks as there are uses for it in construction. Most commonly, bricks are used in exterior home construction. For example, an entire house may be brick or just part of the house for added curb appeal. Brick can also be used for pillars or columns, mailbox structures, a chimney, or a retaining wall. In most exterior brick applications, it is recommended to seal the brick to protect it from water damage, efflorescence, fading, mold/mildew, dirt, grime, and other contaminants that can be harmful or take away from the brick’s appeal. For interior brick walls, sealing is also beneficial to the brick and will enhance its natural beauty.

To seal a brick wall, you first need to wash it. In areas surrounded by landscaping, be sure to cover and protect any shrubbery that may be harmed. Use a quality brick and masonry cleaner according to the directions. Be sure to wear protective gloves and safety glasses.

Apply the cleaner and use a stiff brush or pressure washer to agitate and break loose the unwanted contaminants. Use a rust remover where any irrigation rust or other rust stains may be present. Interior brick walls are best cleaned with a safe cleaning solution and a scrub brush. Wipe the wall clean using cloths or towels if rinsing with water is not feasible. Once all the stains are gone from an exterior wall, rinse the brick wall well with plenty of water. Let the brick wall dry for a minimum of 24 hours after cleaning.
