[QUOTE="shooterdave, post: 2057743, member: 3128"] I remember seeing a product that actually leached into the pores of the concrete and bonded. I believe it was drylock? Was designed for similar situations. Also, it may be possible to dig a sump well on the uphill corners outside the structure down to a depth of three or so feet lower than the floor, set perforated 12" PVC in it with a foot or so gravel bed, and put a sump pump with a float switch in the bottom of each hole. Depending on how the structure was leveled and bedded, it may allow any hydraulic pressure to seep into the sump wells instead of penetrating the structure. A bit of a gamble, but cheaper than digging it up and French draining it. Good luck in whatever you do. [/QUOTE]
