I own a home that has stone and mortar walls in the basement. The walls are concrete but in remodeling the previous owners installed the stone and mortar walls over the concrete. The walls are very dusty and in cleaning them I realized that some of the mortar was giving off a fine sand like dust when brushed. Is there anyway to seal this wall so that this does not occur. If not, what needs to be done.
Renate
Yes you can seal the wall but it will be good if you consult a company who can do onsite inspection to give you best possible solutions.Their are companies like All In One Home Improvement,LLC which can give you free on site inspection and can give you quotation according to the covered area.They can give you complete remodeling solution for your home improvement without paying extra for miscellaneous services.

how much surface area?
It is not cheap for good sealers. Any tile or stone mason yard will carry products. I would call local sources and ask them. If the mortar has deteriorated to a certain point due to age or poor product you might have limited options. I would consider bringing a few masons in to look at it and advise.
Good luck
