Any village house that has a basement or cellar needs special care.
Problems may still arise, for example, dampness may often form in the cellar. But it is possible to fight this.
First of all, you should air out the cellar and dry it out. You also need to find places where leaks are possible, and they need to be repaired.
Don't forget about options for improving waterproofing.
If the wall is covered with dampness, it can be saved.
From the outside, close to the wall, it is necessary to remove the blind area. Then a hole up to a meter deep and up to 30 cm wide is dug close to the wall.
The soil must be carefully removed from the cellar wall.
It should be dried first.
Mastic diluted with white spirit or heated bitumen is applied to a well-dried wall.
Then you need to move on to preparing the cement mixture (ratio 1 to 3) and move on to plastering the outer wall.
Experts recommend adding liquid glass to the solution.
The well-dried plaster should be covered with a layer of bitumen mastic. Clay is placed in the hole.
In the end, all that remains is to make a new blind area.
The work must be approached responsibly. The procedure is complicated, but in the end you can well protect the cellar from problems.
