Mold needs an organic material to grow on. If the foundation walls in your basement or crawlspace are painted with a masonry 'waterproofing' paint, there is now a food source for mold to grow. Every house needs to have proper grading outside around the foundation so that during storms the water is directed away to help prevent water intrusion. In the far majority of situations waterproofing paint will not fully keep moisture from entering a basement or crawlspace.
