Ok quick question,
I need to damp proof a concrete floor in a circa 1980s house (bedroom). Short story we had a damp smell issue and moisture on the one wall - have established it’s a drainage issue outside so plan a massive job in digging out drainage running the corner of the house out to both sides (ground slopes towards that corner), we ripped up the carpet in the stinky room only to discover concrete has not been sealed and there is staining indicating moisture has been getting through. Which is probably why the underlay and carpet stunk!
My question is can anyone recommend a damp rise/ damp stop or membrane paint from bunnings please (bunnings because we live rurally and that’s really the only place convenient).
I don’t care if it stinks or takes a few days to cure (or whatever) l just want something that has good reviews and works. Bunnings sell a few and l want the best or second best option.
Also there are some small (2mm -3mm cracks running along the floor in two areas) l suspect l need to fill these but with what - again recommendations are welcome please.
If anyone has experience using any and can post please do.
