- Tar is a very good sealer against a wet basement and is good for 30 years or so.
- The tar coating is similar in substance and life to roofing shingles which don’t last forever and neither does the tar on the foundation.
- Once the tar is gone the foundation is no longer sealed and the porous concrete is laid bare.
- Therefore, unless you have re-sealed the foundation, if you had a wet basement before you will again.
