Is there any effect to apply water repellent spray (colorless liquid) to washroom concrete before applying water proofing or install tile?
It seam's to me that if you apply water repellent before water proofing you defeated your purpose, and if your going to put tile down the concrete absorbs the moisture from the mortar which makes it bond.
Do you need to apply a waterproofing agent like Tuff n Dri to a below grade retaining wall if 5000 psi concrete is used?
the 5,000 psi is the amount of pressure the concrete can withstand before it will crush. it has nothing to do with water proofing. to find out if you need water proofing you need to know how poores the concrete is and how quickly the ground out side will drain water. it only takes about 6 psi for water to penatrate most concrete walls, it is more a matter how long the water is alowed to stay against the wall, there for how far through the concrete it can penatrate if you have a good working drain you will most likely never need water proofing. but if you dont own a backhoe it is far cheaper to put it on the outside before the hole is filled.

What are the uses of waterproof and water repellent portland cement?
Just look around to see all the uses of concrete in our daily lives! Concrete made of Portland Cement is a subject to all types of degradation starting with Carbonation as soon as it comes in contact with the atmosphere. The thing most people overlook is that when concrete is placed, the water in the mix in addition to hydrating the concrete, is trying to evaporate out of the matrix to the atmosphere. In doing so, Bleed water is expelled to a surface. The channels this water travels through is called a gel-pore or capillary system. Once the water is gone -- this capillary system remains open allowing contaminates to enter the concrete. Concrete is a Big Sponge that breaths for years after it is poured. A sealer to protect it is Vital to Longevity. Choose a sealer wisely. Surface membrane type sealers don't last! Stay away from a sealer that cautions Do Not expose to metals or glass. That is a Sodium Silicate based product that is gone in less than a year! Any sealer that allows for another coating at some future date?? Doesn't this beg the question of "What happened to the first application"? Get a penetrating sealer to seal the gel-pore system, that doesn't form a film membrane and has a 15 year warranty for water proofing.
