When doing a basement I see on TV that they use a rubber membrane on outside of blocks. Guy (old school block layer)doing basement says its a waste and not worth the money. says ANY moisture that finds its way behind the membrane creates a great mess. Says when he sprays hot tar on outside it seals just fine and no further treatment necessary. is he pulling my leg?? I am in Nebraska and weather conditions get extreme here,,,100 plus in summer and 30 below in winter,tons of driving snow and wind chills 40-80 below!! LOTS of wind chill!! Going to put drain tile both inside and outside and pipe them both to sump inside. Dont always NEED a pump but if you do,,,you NEED one!! plus radon tubes are required here!!
Anything else I forgot??
