Her basement always smelled damp/musty so we used drylok, put on 2 coats and no moisture problems since. Doesn't smell musty anymore either.
I would recommend that you run a dehumidifier at all times if you plan to keep your sewing machine and fabric down there. Makes a huge differnece.
Best of luck to you.
