You can paint the concrete walls with a water proofing chemical. This creates a waterproof barrier to prevent water from crossing through.

1. Pictures for reference, in and out ng house kung saan nag moist
2. Inform your contractor about the problem

since bago ang house mo, meron yan warranty.

meron ka bang katabing bahay kung saan nagkaroon ng moist ang wall mo?

1. if yes, ung 2 pader nyo nagkadikit, ang solution dyan lagyan ng flashing sa ibabaw para ung tubig hindi papasok sa pagitan ng 2 pader.

kung wala ka naman katabi, paulit mo ung water-proofing ng outside wall, baka nagkaroon ng hairline cracks kung saan pumapasok ang tubig.

Pwede din mangaling sa roof drain, kung nagkarron ng bara or meron leak

Elastomeric paint.

Ayan, di ka kasi nag-invite ng mga tsikot forumers sa house warming nyo. :D

One option is to use waterproofing sealant and/or elastomeric paint. Check first for hairline cracks and water seepage sources before sealing. If you seal it, baka gumapang lang yung water to another part and it will be harder to trace later on.

Pwede rin, pag umuulan ng malakas, ilipat mo sa garage or balutan ng plastic yung bahay para di mabasa. :D

Elastomeric paint.

less than useless.

Yung sa amin naman sir ang nangyari gumapang yung tubig tapos nag bubbles yung paint. Ilang beses ko na inaakyat yung bubong namin at nilagyan lahat ng sealant pero wa epek pa din. Hayz!

Sir GH, anong water proofing chemicals for walls? sa slab kasi ung waterproofing membrane ginagamit namin.

[earthlyken]

May elastomeric paint napo yung labas...sun and rain ginamit kopo..triple coat nga ginawa nila..also were planning to remove the paint part sa mga nag moist then pahiran ng thoroseal tsaka mag paint ulit..do you think that will work?

Look for "Concrete Sealer".

Use it like paint but it's a clear liquid and also dries clear. It's function is to seal and block all the pores in concrete to prevent water getting through. Downside, if the wall develops a crack later, water will get through that particular crack.

Waterproof membrane is actually the better solution IF you can still access the entire area that needs to be waterproofed. But it also means an extensive amount of work needed to be done to restore and hide the membrane.

Also...do i apply it when the walls are dry? Or can i apply it while the walls are wet?

Oo nga sir GH, mahal din ung water proofing membrane. Cge, try ko ung concrete sealer.
