Well l have just bought a 1928 Polish building in Lviv Ukraine. I am interested in how they constructed foundations and how they prevented damp during this period.I understand the principle of a house having to breath but how did they overcome rising damp during this period. Any information would be grateful.
1920s Polish Building construction in Lviv
Well l have just bought
From whom?
The purchase is not the issue but l want to find out more about how they built these sturdy houses. How they damp proofed them etc.
The purchase is not the issue
It is if you didn't buy from a rightful owner. As for your question I don't know how they were constructing foundations in that period.

This is a touchy subject. My Polish grandparents lost their property in L'vov during WWII. My grandfather was never the same since he could never go back to his home after Stalin, Churchill, and Roosevelt signed the papers at the Yalta Conference, essentially giving his estate to Ukraine. I visited the Lavidia Palace in Crimea a few years ago and was in tears knowing the impact to my family.
