Our basement will be constructed soon, and the contractor recommended using concrete partition walls. According to him, the brick partition walls I had planned might cause problems if the basement ever floods. We have soil with a high gravel content, and I can easily imagine that heavy rain could push water from outside—flooding is not impossible.
How do brick partition walls hold up? Don’t they dry out quickly if they get submerged? Should I really choose partition walls made of concrete?
