Paint peeling from the bottom?
White salt stains on the wall?
👉 Your house is pulling groundwater inside.
This is capillary action — and it starts from bad basement protection.
Fix it during construction:
âś” Fly ash bricks up to basement level
âś” Plaster both sides before soil filling
âś” Bitumen coating to block moisture
âś” Proper layer-by-layer compaction
Ignore this = lifetime repainting
Do it right = dry walls for years.
