how can i “seal” my basement from leaking?? my foundation is built of stones stacked upon each other and someone at some point coated it from inside with a white material that is now flaking off. it leaks from a variety of heights and holes, but mostly from the bottom two layers of stones. there is a garden abbuting the leaky cellar wall, hence, no building attatched to shield it. a contractor told me i had to dig entirely around the outside all the way to the bottom and coat it with a sealant….thats so much digging ! any way to waterproof it from inside the cellar with something ? any ideas ? anything would be appreciated ! especially after this storm !
