I have a finished basement with tiles and water seems to come from under the tiles. Will I be able to pour this between the tiles to stop the water

I highly doubt that would do a thing sorry. Radonseal is made to stop gases not water.

So what you are asking is whether you can use it to seal the grout in between the tiles. My guess is that if the grout is like concrete it might go into the grout, unless it is too smooth and hard on the surface. However, you probably would have needed to seal the concrete before laying the tiles since there must be water soaking up through. Best bet is to go to the RadonSeal web site and call their tech support number.

I would check with the manufacturer. We have a laminate floor. We are never to use water on it for whatever reason

I had the same situation. On half of it I used 2-sided carpet tape and nothing on the other half. After 4 months I can't tell any difference. The occasional tile (fewer than 10%) in both sections didn't seem to lay perfectly flat so I put two widths of tape underneath them and solve the problem. These tiles are perfect for a basement.

Depending on how high you suck out the water, but should be powerful enough fron a regular basement to the outside. It does not matter how far the distance. Remember what matters is HOW HIGH not how far.

We did, and it worked wonderfully. We did however use some concrete floor leveler to fill in the gaps between concrete slabs and help level out places around drains, plumbing etc... After we poured the leveler and let it dry, we used a hand grinding block to smooth those areas out nicely. A good vacuum and wipe down with a wet rag, and it was good to go. It went down very nicely on the concrete and looks great. Definitely happy with the outcome in our basement. Hope this helps.

My experience is with a unfinished concrete basement floor that was not level, and it drained out about .05 inches, then I just needed a dry mop. It was great and fast.

I put a small bead of caulk where the sink and counter top met. After installing everything I put another small bead of caulk along the parimeter where the 2 meet to prevent water from getting under the sink.

It will prevent water from entering provided you have the rubber on garage door against your floor/slab even with no gaps or openings. If its pretty level you will be fine.

There are holes in bottom of the floor for water to get out. And there are grooves that are part of the fake flooring that channel water toward the holes. I haven't tested it yet though.

You could but you'd be better off flooding it with water. Tile saws have a pump and tank that recirc the water, you could rig something similar and water is a lot cheaper.

It's grout. It will fill the area between tiles no matter what they are made of.

I don't see why not, but make sure you have a 'drip catcher' in case you add too much water...you would not want to ruin your floor!

I would assume so. I used this in my old basement that had issues with water during heavy rains. Water would come through the foundation. I used this with their seam tape and the basement was dry as a bone. We went to sell and an inspector said that we had high moisture readings up to 12" high. Needless to say, we did get the basement professionally waterproofed to sell the house. I can tell you this stuff works and works very well. Hope this helps

I had the same idea, try to avoid pulling up tile. I put it between 16" joists, thru 3/4" ply, thru 1/4" cement board, thru tile. It really is not meant to be used this way. It got a hot spot and opened after a few months. I sandwiched it in sheet aluminum for safety, which worked OK. The heat was not even and took a long time to heat up. Not anything like putting it between tile and backer which works great.

Hardwood flooring is not suitable for below grade (basement) application. So if the hardwood is being installed above grade, over an existing plywood subfloor, then nail or glue it down. No moisture barrier is required. This product provides both thermal insulating and moisture barrier protection for use over basement or concrete slab floors. It would be possible to install a floating hardwood floor where the joints are glues together over this underlayment - but only on a slab foundation at grade level. For an above grade floor installation, you would want the heat from the home to transfer through the floor level in the home and not insulate against it.

It should. If you have a leak under the concrete the area should be hotter than other areas of the basement floor. I like how this works and is one of the easier ones to use and well worth the money if you have other uses for it. I found a lot of cold spots and air lease in a house I am working on using the instrument.

Are you installing tiles if so I recommend using a Brady board or wonder board on top with thinset to set the tiles. If you set in the basement usually that is concrete you will be fine to install wood floors on top of the heating pad.
