I recently remodeled my basement after some water issues due to heavy rain. The previous fake wood laminate floors were removed to prevent mold growth, and I cleaned the concrete slab with a diamond grinder. Now, I've regraded around the house to improve drainage, but I'm unsure if I should apply a seal or epoxy coating to the concrete floor or if it's fine to leave it as is. What do you think?

We went all out and coated our concrete with epoxy designed for garage floors, which really helps with moisture issues. Before that, we made sure to grade the exterior for drainage, updated the gutters, and installed drain tiles and a sump pump. Honestly, our basement has stayed completely dry for over a decade!
