Any idea of the basement floor has a dampcourse?
If, (that's a big 'IF), you could clean the surface, (concrete)
suficiently all the way to the edge/corner/joint with the walls,
you might be able to apply a water-based epoxy.Whether the cured epoxy surface would blow under the hydrostatic pressure
the next time the water table rises would be a risk you would have to take.

I don't think it does, at least I doubt it - think it's the full original setup from 100 years ago when the houses were built
I was down there this morning and there was a ring of slight wetness around the very base of the basement, following the very heavy weekend rain - I'm not massively worried about that (probably foolish) but think it probably puts paid to my notions of getting floor sealed...

anyone ever epoxy'd a basement floor? I'm not even convinced it would be possible to get ours clean enough for the expoxy to key. think there's 100 years' worth of aggregate dirt down there. would be nice for it to be a cleaner environment for my pain cave though...
