Drylock for Basement

[nightfighter]

Get the dehumidifier going before you apply the drylock. You want the walls as dry as possible, even if you have to wait for a period of no rain. Adhesion is key. If you have any super wet/damp areas, skim the area with hydraulic cement

you have got to tackle this from the outside first. huge project. dig foundation, maybe apply coat of seal coat by( unilock I think ), then coat it with karnak 920, serious foundation coating. this poop works.

Sounds a bit intimidating. I don't live there year round, its going to remain "unfinished" this seems out of my league. The drylock itself is going to be a big enough PIA. Was thinking of doing it late October early November when its fairly dry anyways to just help out the process
