Depends on the sandstone and the cementation holding the sand particles together.
Generally speaking sandstone has a lot of interconnecting spaces between the sand particles which provides both porosity (ability to hold other material frequently water in geological areas) and the connecting spaces which allows the fluid to move, making it permeable.
If sandstone is coated with or has impermeable material pushed into the pore space, then it may become impermeable. The key here is the amount of force used to push the material into the spaces. At some point the force may become sufficiently high to break the cementation of the sandstone apart.
