I have a home built in 1890 that has a stone walled basement. When it rains for an extended period of time, water flows through the wall. I have added gutters and used UGL Drylock, but it has not stopped. Is there anything I can do, short of excavating the perimeter of the basement? I had a mason offer to put a plaster/fiberglass mixture on the wall. He said it should stop the water for about 10 years, but that the water was still getting through the wall and would eventually get through. I was hoping for something a little more permanent. Does anyone know of any ideas, or is what I was told the best or only solution? Thanks, Lee

Normally when you install fiberglass insulation between wooden studs you can staple the paperface to the studs to hold it up. What can you do when you are using steel studs? I can keep the studs real close to the basement wall but I am trying not to compress the fiberglass.
