wayerproofing a basement
Posted by robin from hailfax, NS, CA on April 3, 2007
I have a cinderblock basement that that is need of some waterproofing . The basement is bare cinder block. I would like to coat the inside with a layer of a water proof cement, then paint it. I would like to do this myself. What would you suggest I should use. I am having the foundation dug out and the drainage fixed. The outside of the basement will be coated and a plastic or rubber mebrane put on.
You can apply a polymer modified cementitious coating on the interior as well as the exterior of the wall.
