Hi

I have a house with an old mostly brick walled basement. IT has a lot of deteriorating parging. I want to replace the parging and use drylok to seal it but I wanted to know if anyone had any tips. Some of the bricks need repointing, but since it is kind of a headache, can i just parge over them instead of repointing? Should I repoint and then parge? UGL indicated that I should repoint and then apply drylok directly to the brick. Can I do that and then parge over the drylok-ed brick? I doin't have any active leaks or anything, but i want to improve the moisture barrier down there, it is somewhat damp, and make it look a bit better. Basically, any tips on how to work on an old brick basement would be appreciated.

thanks
