Eron A. Will a concrete patio area above basement walls stop water?
31 December 2022 | 14 replies
This can be accomplished from the interior as well, however it's more effective preventing moisture from coming in (exterior), rather than holding moisture back (interior).been trying hard to avoid excavating. and remember now......there is a span of wall that is nice and clear...and not too cracked up. so whether or not they waterproofed or not........that span of concrete blocks are relatively undamaged. it doesnt make sense that they would waterproof that span, and not the other span.so this is why i think i can just cover the damaged span of concrete blocks with a porch or something so that water wouldnt get to the span of exterior wall. id actually probably use plastic tarp in the beginning, so i could uncover that area during days of sun in hopes that any moisture inside the dirt would evaporate. when it rains, id cover up that area again with a huge plastic tarp.i would also improve the grading, and well the downspouts are already good.i could also do a french drain type thing...but i dont think that would be necessary.im really trying to avoid excavating. i dont want to pay $25K lool. i already have mold issues on interior joists that will need to be blasted off...and these joists are 30ft long and there are probably 50 of them going across the basement. and yesterday i was looking at some studs...and i think i mightve seen some mold on those too. super annoying, man.
