Tanking a cellar, how hard is this for a DIYer? Looking at buying a house with a very damp cellar (because it's just a hole in the ground with bricks on the sides).
Even if it’s that basic they don’t have to be damp; that the sub floor is getting fucked by it suggests something else is wrong. Investigate.

Tanking a cellar, how hard is this for a DIYer? Looking at buying a house with a very damp cellar (because it's just a hole in the ground with bricks on the sides). Thinking I'd basically make a big pond and lay a slab inside that, then build block pillars to hold up the (currently rotting because ends are in the damp brickwork) timbers which make up the floor above and stud walls with insulation and plasterboard inside. Not sure I've explained that so well!
