Evening all,
Hopefully you can see the images above, I'm after some advice/input really, I am tanking my basement using KA tanking slurry, It is dry at present and doesn't smell so hoping a good tanking will make it a decent space.
I have used this above ground previously for rising damp (different property) but never below ground. After doing a lot of research seems some systems suggest an SBR slurry, render then tanking and others say tanking bare brick then a render.
As you can see from the pictures I have dug the floor and the rasied bed down an extra course as my plan originally was to tank the walls first all the way down then lay the new floor, fillet the angle then tank the fillet joint and floor (thought the tanking going down past the floor might help)
I'm still currently prepping the walls atm all like the far wall back to brick and mortar joints raked as seen in the pictures.
Basically what do people think
- would you tank the bricks then render or render then tank?
- tank walls first then get floor in or get floor in and then tank?
- also what is peoples previous experience with the steps in, tank them or are they ok because they are not earth retaining?
any input welcome, Thanks
