Now we had down into the cellar to look at the ventilation. By now you will realise that I hate tanking. In about 99% of times, tanking and cement render is not needed. What IS needed is a systematic approach - get it breathing, test progress, see if it dries out, and if not, why? Then come up with options. This is a truly wet cellar that runs water, but I am still drying it out. More on www.heritage-house.org and www.heritage-survey.org
