Hey community,
Can someone please tell me how to waterproof basement walls (foundation) to prevent groundwater from penetrating?
Attempts have already been made to make the basement walls thicker, but moisture still comes through the walls and now also through the floor (older building) – the rubble stone walls are about 0.5 to 1.8 meters (1.6 to 5.9 feet) high and wet.
It all started when the neighbor, who recently moved in, raised his garden by about 1 meter (3.3 feet) on average.
Thanks in advance for your answers – I’m worried that a three-story house might collapse…
