Hi. I wonder what would be best to use to waterproof the exterior wall below ground level.
I have to dig up around almost all of the house for a cable and as we have permanently a problem with rising damp I thought it would be a good time to put a french drain pipe in and possibly tank the exterior wall as well. But I can not see which product would be best to use external and below ground.
A lot of videos I found show a product like Everbuild Black Jack Damp Proof Membrane , whilst it says on the product description just above ground. And then is the Everbuild Febtank Super Tanking Slurry for example?
What material would you use to waterproof the external wall please, costing not the world? And breathable I guess.
Thank you for your help and ideas.
