Fighting moisture in basement
Hi,
I have a wetness problem in my basement, which you can see on this pictu http://freeboundaries.com/basement.jpg I was wondering if the stucco that was plastered over the stone is serving a wetness fighting function or am I better off removing it (exposing the good looking stones) and repointing the granite? (I'm aware of other wetness fighting methods like the dehum, french drain, etc.) Thanks, Aaron |

If it was my house I would geat a good mask and start ripping out carpet and drywall. |
