Howdy. Eventually I am going to "re" finish a third of my basement with new walls (sheetrock), drop ceiling, bar, and carpeting. When we get substantial rain (damn town never ifxed the curb they removed and a river flows toward the house), I get some small water leakage into the room I want to finish. It appears to come from the spot where my oil heat plumbing is embedded in the cement to the oil burner ALSO in the corner where my gutter pipe ends outside. I know I need to fix the water runoff situation outside BUT, is there any product I can put on the cement walls and flooring to seal the room better PRIOR to do doing any work? Peace: e3 - spamman

I installed a drop ceiling in part of the basement last year and the 2'x4' ceiling tiles are curving up. In otherwords, if you look down the room , all the tiles are saging. Is there a reason for this? The basement is unfinished except this one room that I put the drop ceiling in. I have installed many ceilings and this one seems to really have a problem. Please help!
