i think some cement-based tanking coat would work. I used something like this https://www.permagard.co.uk/basement-waterproofing/cement-tanking in an upright wall application, it has little crystals in the mix which expand when damp and create a waterproof seal. Leave for a week or so o activate, then paint over
I don't think it does, at least I doubt it - think it's the full original setup from 100 years ago when the houses were built
I was down there this morning and there was a ring of slight wetness around the very base of the basement, following the very heavy weekend rain - I'm not massively worried about that (probably foolish) but think it probably puts paid to my notions of getting floor sealed...
