Our local preservation architect ( my wife) has asked me for what is the new
technology on damproof for brick.....3 wythe below grade footings ,interior
slab at grade .
My recommendations were thus
!. cut out joints below grade and make inserts of slate or another impervious
membrane.
2. Injections of lime grouts or other grouts at intervals
3. excavate footings paint with thoroseal or other and line with black paper .
4. Divert all gutter spouts and water away from building.
Any product or technique that has met with success I would greatly appreciate
hearing about. Best Michael
