I have a cellar which has damp wall, not wet, just damp. The existing white

I would like to make it into a pleasant room, so need to tank the cellar.

Can anybody recommend any systems?

Thanks

If you tank a damp wall without drainage ... it will probably become wet
eventually.

My tanking system is similar to that of a cellar type system. It's
inside rather than out. See my ramblings here http://tinyurl.com/b88e7

I note that some others have recomended digging down outside etc etc, if
you go that way it might be worth digging an exploratory hole first to
establish the condition of the walls/footings from the outside before
getting big diggers (=£) in.
