Basement floor refinish/seal

As the title says, this is my basement floor. The house was built in about the 50s, and a previous owner dry locked the basement floor. They then installed plastic sheet with LVP over top of it. Our basement flooded due to a drain back up so we removed the LVP and were wanting to get the basement concrete sealed finished. Would it be possible to rent a grinder from Home Depot or Lowe's and grind the dry lock off and then seal it like that... would it be better to grind it, use concrete leveler, and then seal that? Sorry for the bad picture, it's the only one I have from when the dog tore up a paper towel roll. submitted by /u/outheredointhis [link] [comments]
