Can we epoxy paint a concrete basement floor that gets wet in rain?

Our house is very old and when it rains hard we have one spot where a small puddle develops in the basement. It's probably coming from behind some paneling but we can live with it rather than go ripping out paneling and looking for the problem. The water just goes into the concrete - it's not even enough to bother mopping. So, if we cover this floor with epoxy paint from Home Depot without dealing with the water issue are we going to regret it? The other option we looked at would be a sub-floor like Dricore but the floors are terribly uneven and I'd worry about the water destroying it. Any thoughts?Can we epoxy paint a concrete basement floor that gets wet in rain?
Just make sure that part of the floor is dry and that it won't rain for a few days after you paint.


Take care of that water issue though as soon as you can. You don't want mold.Can we epoxy paint a concrete basement floor that gets wet in rain?
It may be a good thing to dig down outside the wall(about 6 ft along the wall,2 ft. down and out from wall)you think the water is coming from,clean the wall of dirt,get a gallon of roofing tar and spread it on wall,let dry,fill hole back in.After next heavy rain fall,go down and check.Dehumidify the basement if no puddle,this will dry up any moisture behind paneling.Go ahead and do the epoxy.
