We are renovating an old cottage.The walls( which are below ground level )were so wet they use to drip water. We have removed the concrete floors and the walls have stopped dripping.But now when it rains the water pours in through the rock sub base of the wall,and makes lakes in the floor then it soaks out through the exposed earth floor.The workplan is to newton lathe the walls , put drains in the floor, cover them with chippings then a plastic sheet then some kind of flooring.Reading this forum makes us wonder what would happen if we ommit the newton lath and just drain the floor. Will this work. Ena.
