No water, just super damp. Drainage is all away from the house where it can be. In fact we actually have cave crickets that think its a great place to live.
I figure without the drylock type wall covering, a dehumidfier will just keep cycling and pulling more moisture through?

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

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 |
