Sealing between garage slab and wall?
Well, I have sill seal under the sill.
But it's the water from the inside I'm worried about. I have gypsum board on the interior walls, and it goes all the way down to the floor. and they absorb quite a bit.
Does anyone know if there is a cement-like material that is "waterproof"??? Then I could place it between the floor and the walls so the water doesn't contact the gypsum boards.

This thread is closely related to mine, perhaps we have the same solution to different problems?

One solution could be to invest in a fein or a copy, place a spacer on the base plate and cut the plasterboard, use a univarsfog to seal the gap you create when cutting the plasterboard by 5-10 mm.
This way, the plasterboard will not rest on the concrete, and you get at least some form of protection.

Do the same as you would in a bathroom... that is, put a moisture barrier. Yours doesn't need to be more than about 10-15 cm up on the wall. Then I would lay tiles in the garage. It will be nice, cheap, and easy to maintain.
