A crying need for an easy way
to dampproof Easements has
flooded the market with various
materials which are SO good for
minor problems that they inspire
their promoters to make fantastic
claims.
Apparently such promotion is
more or less sound business, since
the majority of damp Easements
can be remedied rather simply
and the material used will rarely
be subjected to a severe test.
However, the National Bureau
of Standards has found that the
basic ingredient of most of such
products is Portland cement land
few, If any, show any marked
superiority in preventing damp
ness over Portland cement"
This is shown in a report, which
Joseph H. Orendorff. director of
research for the Housing and
Home Finance Agency in WASH
ington, says indicates to us that
Portland cement is the important
ingredient and that waterproofing
admixtures and coatingS do not
necessarily improve the water
tightness or absorption charac-
teristics of the wall"
This brings up the interesting
performance of cement water
paints. Just having finished diff
ferent parts of a basement with
different types of paint, this
writer can report of personal ex-
perience. Having been assured by
manufacturers representative
that a good grade of oil paint
would suffice for a permanently
dry 12-inch poured concrete foun-
dation, we tried it. A gallon COW
cred less than 100 square feet be-
cause of the comparatively rough
surface.
It was obvious that a sealer
was called for. Shellac was used
for the next section and the oil
paint went farther. Still two coats
of paint, unthinned, were needed
for a fair coverage and a third
could have been used to advan-
tage. This paint cost about Sc
per gallon.
In a third section, a rubber
base cold-water paint, widely adj
vertiSed for use with roller, was |

Cement Is Bosic Material to Damp Proof Bosemen

states: Where the basement wall
is subject to only mild or occa-
sional dampness, it can often be
made sufficiently dry by scrub
bling in one or two coats of &C.
ment-water paint on the interior
face of the wall. Where the water
condition is severe, paint coats
of this type usually will not
correct the situation and it usual
/ ly is necessary to excavate around
the wall and apply a Portland
cement parge coating, over which
two coatings of bituminous ma
terial is usually applied to bridge
over any hair checks"
And here is the formula of that
HHFA expert:
"Cement-water paint may be
purchased ready-mixed or can be
made by mixing either gray or
white Portland cement with suf-
ficient water to produce a creamy
consistency. For coarse textured
masonry walls, cement-water
paints consisting of one part of
fine silica sand (passing a 20
mesh Sieve) and one part of Port
land cement are effective. They
are best applied by scrubbing in
with a stiff bristled brush similar
to a household scrubbing brush.
They should be kept damp for a
few days to prevent hair check
ing"
One trade publication for home
builders, in an authoritative study
of paint problems. recently OBJ
served that cement-water paints
"repel moisture effectively" The
method of use recommended is:
Cd vigorous wire brushing of
surfaces; 90 filling with a heavy
paste, alf large cracks: 80 fog
spraying the surface with a hose,
allowing water to drain off, but
not dry; "a applying the first
coat with circular movements of
a scrub brush, without brushing
the paint out; 60 curing with
fine fog spray after the first coat
has hardened, keeping it damp
for "a hours; co applying a second
coat in long. horizontal strokes
with a whitewash or calcimine
brush; CD curing after this coat
has hardened by using a fine fog
spray and keeping the surface
damp for at least 40 hours.
If basement walls have been
painted before. all old paint must
be removed before using cement
water paints. But cement-water
paints can be painted over in
lcolors after a primer has been
applied.
