In Norway a rugged plastic film with "warts" are used on the outside below ground, warts pointing inwards to provide airing for the wall, optionally something on the upper edge of the film to keep dirt/water from entering between it and the wall, and a 5cm styrofoam layer and back filled with crushed stone to keep everything dry. Often a coating is put on the wall too, but if the film upper edge is sealed it's not that important.
It is extremely effective in keeping the walls dry. ;p
@vmitravis We do not use Drylok, so I cannot answer any warranty questions in regards to it. Some home owners do use Drylok on the basement floor and walls after our work is done and we recommend it as a good sealer. Drylok is more of a damp proofer, if you have serious water coming into your basement you would need more than Drylok to fix it.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ,THE LABOR IN YOUR WORK , ASSURES YOU OF GIVING SO MUCH INFORMATION . I APPRECIATE ANY BIT OF KNOWLEDGE AND THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT EFFECTS THE WHOLE AREA EAST OF THE MID CONTINENT . BASEMENT HUMIDITY , WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE HEATING SYSTEM IS USUALLY DOWN THERE , IT BRINGS THE BAD SPORE FILLED AIR UP INTO THE LIVING ARE. NOT GOOD .
Well done video.. Question... What is 'durawall'? I don't find any sensible explanation of it elsewhere on Youtube. And what else would you suggest to channel water down the interior of the basement wall to the drain tiles. One way or another, we need to have a perfectly dry environment for the final surfaces.
@bosatsu76 Durawall is a plastic / fiberglass paneling that comes in 4'x8' sheets and is mold resistant. It's main purpose is, as you stated, to direct any water that may come through the wall down into the drain tile. It's durable, easy to install, clean looking and improves the look of any basement. The only alternative to Durawall would be using the flexible vapor barrier that comes on a roll and is used in crawl spaces or exterior waterproofing. It does not look nearly as nice.
@drsmith33, We typically do drill the mortar joints as well, not sure why we did not on that particular installation. At the time I created the video that was the only shot of weep holes I had. I do know it is standard procedure now to drill all cores and mortar joints. Thanks for watching!
StayDryKS I'm 5 8 and I can do some crazy dunks. Truthfully, anyone can do it, just follow the right training program. I highly recommend the workout at 50inch vertical[dot]com but any program could be followed if you are sure they generate results

Should be drilling the mortar joints also, as those have cores too.
