So, me and my wife are building a house. We are two months into this and the weather has been terrible. Anyways I am building a safe room under the porch area of the house and am wondering if I should drylok the inside of the concrete walls? Unfortunately, the builder already studded the inside of these walls before I could drylok them so to me it seems that water could still come in behind them which, IMO, makes dryloking the rest of it kind if a moot point. Your thoughts?
The contractor already has a corrugated roof over this room, which has brick on top of it, a moisture barrier, then the first concrete slab tied in with rebar above that which he suggested I drylok this morning, and he will come back and pour the finishing slab on top of all of that. What are you alls thoughts? This area will have heat and AC. The outside has a real nice thick layer of waterproofing around it so we should be good there. However, we are most worried about water coming in on the top. Technically most of this porch is covered but we still want to make every effort we can to keep water out. I am most concerned with moisture in the air and condensation here. Any help and advice would be most appreciated.
