This method can very suitably be applied in rehabilitation of old brick buildings where the usual waterproofing remediation systems cannot be implemented because of specific structure system The 'total cut' method is very suitable for use in the old traditional masonry buildings, which do not have reinforced concrete vertical beams and where using this method would not interfere with the continuous stability of the building. %K building waterproofing %K total cut total barrier %K total dampness remediation %K barrier to capillary damp rising %K ground water effects remediation %U http://www.doiserbia.nb.rs/img/doi/0354-4605/2011/0354-46051101105G.pdf
