Hi,

I have painted a bitumen based liquid DPM (not the 2 part epoxy types that most other posts are about) on my damp concrete floor (1950s bungalow with no DPM and on a hill with possibly high water table). Still have moisture coming through (I think), and after further reading, 50mm of concrete is required to 'hold it down' and stop penetration from hydrostatic pressure. However, I cant raise the floor by that much so wondering where to go from here as not much sticks to this stuff? I've read about sbr/cement slurry and thinking that should stick and may be worth a shot to strengthen it and add to the water proofing? Am I digging myself a hole (...or should I be!?)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

(Sorry for the double post but this section seems more appropriate)

Thanks,

Phil
