I hope this is the right forum for this ?
I live in the Detroit area where some homes are very close together perhaps
a driveway's width plus maybe 18 inches .
The problem I have is the space between both homes is cement wall to wall.
Now when it rains heavy water flows towards my home and then seeps down
along the wall to the basement where it seeps into my basement not a whole lot but enough to be a pain in the $%#, The walls are reg. cinder block. I can't afford to have my neighbors drive tore up for the amount of water on the floor.
I do recall years ago water proofing companies used to advertise using a
pressure like system where as they would pump tar against the homes basement wall and this would seal up any small leakages
.
Is this possible to do ? Would this be a way to go, if it is still available ?
Has anyone tried this with success ?
Thanks Robut,
