Question 47

I am restoring the interior of a building which has a poured concrete floor and block walls. Previously, both the walls and the floor were painted, but since at one end of the building the ground rises several feet up the wall on the outside, the moisture from the earth managed to seep through just a little, causing damp on the floor and wall in that area, and eroding the paint. What product would you recommend to solve this slight dampness? would its use require me to remove the old paint completely (which would be a chore)? I intend to panel the walls and repaint the floor, and do not want recurrence of the problem. View answer
