Hi
In an old damp proofing report for the place I'm in, it mentions that the conrete front entrance steps up to a shared entrance should be 'asphalted' to provent water ingress. This wasn't done and ten years of ingress has occurred. The area below the steps is where the electricity meters are housed.
Does it really mean asphalt as I think of it (on the roads) because I would think that to be porous. Shouldn't it be some kind of membrane that the water should not penetrate? Any ideas what sort of people should I be contacting about having the work done?
