Jed,

All the steps you have taking really help in reducing the water trying to get into your basement. The problem with applying a patch or paint on the inside of your foundation wall is that concrete is is not waterproof and once water gets into the concrete it seaps down and through wall.

The best way I know to have a dry basement is to use a membrane on the outside of your foundation wall that is impervious to water ( comes in large rolls usually 4 - 6 ' wide) you stick this on overlapping your vertical seams and all the way down the wall and onto your footings. You then have to protect that membrane from rocks and soil with an additional layer that has a large honeycomb like appearance. This second layer not only protects the first membrane but also creates a space for any water to flow through down to your drain tile.

Obviously it is easiest and cheapest to apply this during construction of the home, but... if you have water problems it is worth doing it right before you start closing in interior basement walls. You will end up with mold / rot problems.

There are a bunch of different brands available and I don't want to promote one over the others. Check your local suppliers and/or do a websearch on 'waterproofing membrane' or something similar.

Good luck, Jim
