look up damp proofing emulsions


Walls can be coated with bituminous (asphalt) emulsions, coal tar
emulsions, and rubber based emulsions. I would certainly add
reinforcing mesh to the system. There are other more expensive
systems that use sheets of material and/or drainage mats.

What's the tar-based sealant you are talking about? While I
understand
the french drain is important and I am going to provide one I
still
want to ensure that water won't sip through porous cinder block
walls.
So I need to coat or cover it with some waterproofing coat. I
know
there are specific waterproofing resin coats that are sprayed on
the
walls and prevent water from sipping through. Different products
withstand different hydrostatic pressure. Unfortunately, all of
these
products are expensive as they require certified specialist to
apply. I
am looking for the best and affordable solution that I can apply
myself. It may not be as effective as specialized coatings but
combined
with french drain and proper grading can provide maximum
waterproofing
I can achieve by doing things myself.
