Questions About Cleaning Sealing & Painting Basement Walls & Floor
I live in St Paul Mn, my house was built in 1912. It was totally remolded in 1987. In the basement they built 2 bedrooms and a hallway the walls are drywall. The hall goes to a small utility room with a furnace, water heater, washer and dryer the walls & floor are concert and both where painted back then. Now one wall has some cracks and leaks a little water and there also is a little mold. the other walls and floor need cleaning. I was told to wash the walls with some type of purple cleaner from Walmart. If you know the name please let me know. Also I was told to use Vulkem caulk to seal the cracks and paint walls with Akona a powder you mix with water and paint on with a wall paper brush. There are so many Akona products I don't know which one to use. Can any one tell me how to get the wall and floor ready to paint and tell me the names of the product to use?
