In this video, I revisit the basement waterproofing project I completed 9 months ago to show you the results and discuss whether it was a success or a fail. Using injection cream and a horizontal barrier, I tackled rising moisture in the walls of my 1900s-era building. Today, I’ll take you through how the walls look now, share moisture readings, and explain key improvements, challenges, and next steps.
Here’s what I cover: ✅ A detailed overview of the waterproofing process, including the injection cream application. ✅ Moisture readings before and after the project, highlighting areas of progress. ✅ Observations on efflorescence, moisture movement, and challenges like open drill holes. ✅ Plans for additional treatments, including waterproofing slurry and infrared wall heating. ✅ Reflections on the overall effectiveness and areas needing further attention.
This project has provided valuable insights into basement waterproofing and its long-term impact. While the moisture levels have decreased in many areas, there are still concerns that need addressing. If you’re dealing with similar issues or curious about improving your basement, join me on this journey and learn from my experience.
