You’re going to throw your shoulder out applying dry lock. Fyi

Just FYI I sued over this being done to my house. It doesn't actually fix your problem, it in makes it worse. Water gets temporarily trapped in the bricks, and when it freezes, causes cracks in the bricks and mortar due to expanding. And it will do this every time it hits freezing temperatures. The product warranty even says it's invalid if the temp goes below 55.

This. This. This. All DryLok does is hide the problem. Your foundation will crumble

Did you win/get any money in a settlement? Also who did you sue, the builder, repairman, previous owners, etc.?

Unfortunately I am not allowed to say anything pertaining to that because of the settlement ageement. But I can say the entire thing was an absolute nightmare.

Drylok should be your last step, not your first. Downspouts, french drains, foundation coating, grading, dehumidifier. And then you probably still need drylok.
