Below-ground rooms in Malta are usually cut straight into rock, which means the walls are in permanent contact with ground that holds water after every storm. Unlike a roof, where the water arrives from above and drains away, a basement wall faces sustained hydrostatic pressure pushing moisture inwards. That pressure is why ordinary waterproof paint fails so reliably down there.
Tanking means creating a continuous barrier that resists that pressure, either as a bonded cementitious system applied directly to the structure, or as a cavity drain membrane that accepts water will arrive and manages it to a drainage point instead of fighting it. Which approach suits depends on how much water you are dealing with and what the space is used for.
