My question is, if I put up chicken wire and cover the wire and old wall with new cement and then drylock will the water stop? It needs ot be started that the previous owner had put tar on the walls as a waterproofer. Will the cement stick to this?
If anyone knows how to help please let me know?
With tar on the interior walls, it should not be coming thru the block.
That said, I have to ask just how you finished your walls?
Did you someone tell you to place plastic sheeting over the studs? Under the drywall?
If so, what you may be experiencing is the direct result of having platsic on the walls.
