How Can I Seal a Damp Concrete Floor? Sealing the concrete can help eliminate the dampness on your floor. Before you seal your floor, check to see how damp it is. Tape a small square of clear plastic to the floor using painter's tape. After 24 hours, check the plastic to see if water has condensed underneath it. If so, your floor may be too damp to seal -- most sealants must be applied to a dry floor.

- In fact there are more differences than similarities between series and parallel circuits. But circuits are not simply categorised as being 'series' or 'parallel'. In fact, there are four categories of circuit. Series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.ll the resistances are also added … up in a series circuit. The current (measured in amps) is the same throughout the whole circuit. In a parallel circuit, electrons flow through smaller circuits all coming from the same source. The amperage is different in each circuit based on the resistance offered.
