Sealing Bsmt Walls And Floor

I have a new house basement that I want to prep for finishing. The moisture level is fairly high in the area and I need a product to apply to the walls and floor that will seal out moisture. They will both be covered, so looks don`t matter. Thanks, Dan

Hopefully there's a moisture barrier under the slab and behind the walls.

Xypex has some products that are great for negative side penetration from water.

Drylok works negative side, as does Thoroseal.
