Concrete Garden Path

We made this garden walkway with a mold that we purchased at Lowe's. We mixed the Quickcrete up and then poured it into the mold a section at a time. It was almost like making mud pies. It was a bit time consuming but we were very happy with the end result. It has held up very well as it has been down now for about 3 years.

Cleaning & Organization: Hometalkers, what's the best way to seal in odors in concrete?

We moved into a house in which the cat was urinating in the concrete floor crawl space. We used Nature's Miracle, thought it was gone, and my husband painted it with DryLock. But now when ...»
it's humid the pee smells return. We can't access the cement now that it's been painted, so I'm thinking we seal it some more with Kilz or some other lacquer. Thoughts?

    On bare concrete and plywood subfloor, we have used a cheap sealer like Thompsons water ...»
    sealer. It's oil base and works to seal out the smell.

    Now, out of desperation, I think I would try an oil-base floor paint.

Home Maintenance & Repairs: I am having odor issues in my house that I think are coming from the basement which has a mix of must and cat odor.

The second floor doesn't seem to smell, which is why i think it's coming from the basement. It's worst in the morning. And when I turn on my heat or a/c, that odor comes through my ...»
vents! 1) I have a very good Santa Fe dehumidifier running, 2) I've had the ductwork checked and it's fine. 3) I've been told by multiple hvac guys that i just need to seal the air leaks along the galvanized ducts, which I've done with foil tape to the best of my ability. Could there be a problem with the hvac system beyond the air leaks? Do I need to take measures to seal the floor and walls to remove the odor in the basement?

    Yes the french drain is open on the top-- looks like it's soil covered with rocks and stones. ...»
    It does get damp along the one wall that is facing the back yard (and our yard slopes a little bit toward the house.) I'll look into getting that sealed. could there be mold in there?

    Ozone-- yikes-- sounds serious. I read on the EPA's website that ozone, when administered in safe/appropriate levels, does not work to remove odors. And I'd be concerned with using higher levels than that- isn't it dangerous?
