Hi.
We had a garage built with concrete walls. One side is buried about 1 to 2 meters (3 to 6.5 feet) underground (the left side when looking from front to back). Since the garage is directly adjacent to the neighbor’s property, our structural builder said he could not install insulation or drainage membranes. The architect also said he sees no problem with this. However, an acquaintance strongly advises us to avoid this approach...
What do you think? Thanks

Is the solution mentioned by @lastdrop applicable from the inside? That would be a foolish mistake, not to keep the water away from the wall but to trap it inside ;-)

You can hardly access it from the outside anymore. Any work would only be possible from the inside.

Marchonisch22 Sep 2017 08:41The property ends at the concrete wall of the garage. To dig, I would need access to the neighbor’s area. They have already planted there and laid paving stones.
Therefore, the question is whether any work can be done from the inside.
