OUR HOUSE IS 80 YEARS OLD , WE PAINTED IT WITH DRYLOC ABOUT 12 YEARS AGO. THE DRYLOC AND THE CONCRETE IS CRUMBLING, WE SCRAPED OFF ALL THE LOOSE MATERIAL ALL OF THE DRYLOC DID NOT COME OFF BUT THE WALLS ARE NOW VERY UNEVEN. WE NEED TO DO THE WORK OURSELVES WE ARE SENIOR CITIZENS . WHAT KIND OF SOLUTION SHOULD WE USE IN THE POWERWASHER TO PREPARE THE WALLS. WE WERE TOLD TO USE QUIKRITE #8610 AND A FAST DRYING QUIKRITE CEMENT MIX? WE DO GET GROUNDWATER WHEN IT SNOWS OR RAINS HEAVILY, WHAT TYPE OF PRODUCT DO WE PUT BETWEEN THE THE FLOOR AND BOTTOM WALL. WE HAVE 2 FRENCH DRAINS IN THE BASEMENT WHICH ARE NOT STRATEGICALLLY PLACED RIGHT. WE HAVE TO SWEEP THE WATER INTO THEM. IT IS AGGRAVATING WHEN WE GET THE GROUND WATER AND THE WALLS ARE A MESS.. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE US. MR.B MAG1234@COMCAST.NET Was this post helpful? Yes: or No:
