Re: Dream shop?

Cinder block is super absorbent, it is true. But the fact is, concrete sucks up the water and passes it through also. Especially in constant exposure, such as down in the ground well below grade. Just not as much, but any is too much. It is all a moisture problem in an enclosed structure. How dry it stays inside is all about the waterproofing outside. And it all starts with the grading at the surface. That can steer most of the water away so that your waterproofing is dealing with "moisture" not "water".
