Hi,
My condo building was a conversion of an old historic building. The builder used the original slab (although one section was opened up).
What's the code requirements for waterproofing/dampproofing so the basement units don't have their place damaged by moisture coming up? In addition, assume the moisture does come up through the slab and "wet" the engineering floor, how do we prevent it from occurring? The engineering floor is glue directly onto the concrete, and we don't know if the builder did any test on the concrete before installing.
Thanks,
