The various kinds of floor-surfaces suitable for-basements will be described hereafter. 5. BASEMENT WALLS. Damp and ground-air may not only rise through the floor of a house; they may find entrance through the basement walls. It is of little use covering the site with an impervious layer of asphalt if the walls be left pervious and in contact with the ground. Hence the necessity either of surrounding the basement with an open area, or of building the walls of such materials and in such a manner as to prevent the ingress of moisture and air. Many an old house nestling into a hillside has nothing to protect its back wall from damp but a trench full of rubble stones with a stone drain at the bottom. For a time such a rubble-trench may be of service, but it is sure to choke at last, and then it ceases to be any protection. Undoubtedly an open area, sufliciently wide to admit of easy cleansing, and extending to a depth of about 6 inches below the damp-course under the basement floor, is an effectual preventative of ground-air and ground-damp in walls. The bottom of the area should be formed of concrete, with asphalt similar to that on the ground-layer and walls; if good natural asphalt with a gritted surface is used, no further covering is required.
