basement tanking

[allyb]

alrite lads got a basement that needs tanking done one or two before by killing the salt then 2 coats of k11 and sbr followed by two coats of s&c with water proofer finished with multi, just wondering if this is the still the best way 2 do it, customer not got the money to have a pump installed etc. i joiner mate told me he puts a dampproof membrain on the walls then put studing up cnt see this being as good tho cheers fellas

What are you concidering for the floor ??

 

[allyb]

theres a concrete floor inplace which on first inspection seems ok, dry and solid. ill have to have a closer look but my give it a coat of k11 to be on the safe side

if you k11 the floor then you need to go over it with with a sub floor compound to protect it from foot traffic etc
