give these folks more detail and maybe they can help. what kind of surface? masonary (stucco, brick, stone) or roofing (type) or around something such as a vent or skylight.

good point. It’s so clear in my head (I’m very tired of this reno) so I apologize….concrete basement slab and cellar party walls.

I’d be the first to admit there’s a lot I don’t know, but I’d double check if you need to waterproof the party walls. If there’s a dry basement on the other side, why is water coming in? Waterproofing sounds good, but old masonry needs to breath and excessive water proofing can actually cause damage. Usually it’s preferred to waterproof under the slab, I’m not sure what you’re options are to waterproof a wet slab. A good GC should know what to do, but you could talk to an engineer to make sure

You need a mason. Typically they put in a vapor barrier (a sheet of plastic) and a slab of concrete several inches thick.

If water is coming in from the basement next door (perhaps there’s a bit of a leak on the other side) then you do not want to seal up your side of the party wall and trap the water in the wall. You want to have it addressed on the other side.
