Has anyone had any experience with BrightWall paneling system to help with waterproofing a basement?


We have a basement that is very damp. We need something that will make the basement usable for now. Eventually we'd like to treat the foundation issues from the outside but for now we need something fast so we can use the basement for office space.

For now it looks like the BrightWall paneling system is a good bet... but I can't find ANY reviews of the system or the product.

Anyone have any experience or know anyone that has any experience with a paneling system to combat moisture in the basement?

Here is the hard truth ! All basement are damp, moldy places.You can spend 10 dollars or 100,000 dollarts and you are going to have a damp, moldy basement. Anything you ever put into the basement will midew in a few hours. The place will always have that dank smell. What would you use it for anyway ? I have seen people make recreation rooms, spare bed rooms, hobby rooms etc and none of them are ever used because they stink . How many dry, airy, nice cheerful basements do you know of ? MMMM ?
Sump pumps, outside drains, outside pumps, all sorts of wall treatments, inside and out, under floor drains are all a waste of money.
Leave it alone !

Go to Lowe's get a dehumidifier, they work wonders and will pull an amazing amount of water out of your basement and take the smell out. It has worked fantastically for our basement. Report It

hate to be the bearer of bad news, but here goes: temporary fixes on a damp basement is never a good idea. I know nothing of the "brightwall Paneling system". this i do know for sure. if you overlay the damp wall, moisture will continue to collect-you just wont be able to see it. it will grow mold and possibly do MORE damage to your foundation and your health. I have found the only way to fix this (if u want a finished basement) it to treat the problem at the source, the foundation. I know this is expensive, but you will have to do it anyway. Save your money and your health, do it right the first time! good luck
