jaydeep Join date: Mar 2009	Merely tiling your walls from inside will not solve your problem instead it may get more intense. Putting up an R.C.C. wall may be costlier preposition instead opt for crystallization waterproofing techniques which are effective in providing waterproof surfaces when coated from negative side. "Sunanda Chemicals" is one such company that will give you on site assistance

S L Gupta (Civil Engg) Join date: Mar 2008	Post subject: Reply- Basement Water Proofing Dear Parag, From the contents of your forum, I find that you are renovating your old house. Fixing tiles on the damp wall will be helpful. Good quality or branded glazed tiles should be used. Care should be taken that before fixing the tiles the surface may be well cleaned and tiles should be fixed after applying cement slurry and cement coarse sand mortar in the ratio 1:3. Dampness in the basement is a serious and common problem. For more help I would like to suggest you to read an article on link below for water proofing treatment for basement. http://www.gharexpert.com/articles/Basement-1505/Water-Proofing-Treatment-Basement_0.aspx Regards S.L.Gupta
