    Our garage has a floor with very large concrete slabs with grout? between them. Water has seeped through the grout. I don't think there's a damp proof member under the floor.

    The walls have a damp proof course. I want to lay a DPM ( liquid or sheeting.0 How would I join it to the DPC?

    There are various waterproofing liquids that can be applied on the inside of a building to prevent water ingress. I suppose this could be applied all over the floor and up the walls to dpc level.

    Sika definetly has something that would suit.

    IKO probably would have a suitable liquid product too.

    used this before works well

    Mix small batches at a time OR work very fast. As it can go off in an hour or so if you are fannying around as all liquid DPMs will do. So make sure your full prepped to just roll it on and go go go.
