What I have seen is crew comes in with 15 laborers big holes are punched through the slab every 5 feet or so.. and then big holes are hand dug down then re filled with cement.

What other industry is in every neighborhood of the entire country, that takes their wages and spends them at the local stores, hair salons, insurance offices, doctors, dentists, small and large stores? 

I have seen the occasional tenant pour cement down the drainpipe or other intentional damage(No they were not prosecuted) but that is rare as well. 

Dentist are not business people.

My dentist also just advised me I need all new gold fillings and timeshares are great investments.

Tile needs to be attached to dry wall at a bare minimum but is best backed with cement board

My question is concerning the wet basement (cement block), which has a bowing wall, peeling paint, and water seepage, primarily where the floor meets the wall.

I parged the walls but it didn't eliminate the leaking, but being a low profile root cellar type basement with antiquated french drainage it suffices for now.Thankfully the front area (30x15) of the basement was built as a 'bomb shelter' so the solid poured cement walls & ceiling do not leak or bow & definitely supports the rest of the building.

I stopped by yesterday and saw more work had been done including replacing the drywall in the bathtubs with cement board and the entire basement stone foundation had been drylocked.Still lots to go but it was progress nonetheless.Will keep you posted!

I have coated floors 5 times and not had it work - cement is the worst because it can penetrate deep.
