100 years being the age of the property.

Been trying to get a basement dry. About 100 years old. The bricks were damp. Tanked all walls, then sand/cement render. Found that the render had wet areas. Thinking that this must be condensation. To attempt to solve this Condensation, I've applied a double coat of breathable lime plaster...

Off reading other threads on here there's a lot of crack on. I couldn't tell if people were joking or not. I do appreciate the feedback, I'm going to try that sbr in the tanking. Cheers

So, no then... Thanks for the feedback

Did it improve the waterproofing of the tanking

Has anyone tried mixing tanking with SBR to waterproof a wall. I saw it mentioned in a comment on another thread.

So it's looking like it's not going to dry out. The moisture behind the boards is pooling at the bottom of the walls. I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and take them off and start again. The tanking is already on and seems to be working. I've been advised to coat it with renderlite then frame it...

I did use membrane plugs as well as adhesive to hold the boards on the wall. I figured I'd double up to be safe. Plus before I mixed the board adhesive I coated the celotex panels with a light coat of sbr/pva mix and stood them for a while till the surface went tacky and sticky. By doing this...

The boards will definitely stay on the walls. When I dabbed the celotex onto the tanking I also used a few membrane plugs to hold them on just in case. Plus it's all beaded and plastered now. The real issue is will the board adhesive eventually dry out. If the adhesive is somehow drawing...

There seems to be different opinions on this. I thought it was common practice. I'm aware now that I've made a blunder in putting the boards on to tanking with the adhesive. But now that they're on is there a chance that given enough heat and maybe putting a dehumidifier down there will the...

Why does board adhesive not dry onto tanking. I've heard of loads of people dabbing boards straight onto tanking. I believe what yous are saying, I just want to understand what's happening. Is it that the tanking is impermeable and the moisture within the adhesive has no where to go. I.e it...

I've recently tanked my basement. I applied the tanking in numerous coats. After a week or two all of the walls were completely dry. I've then dabbed celotex insulation boards onto the tanked walls with drywall adhesive. I then dabbed plasterboards onto the insulating boards with drywall...
