We have a basement garage in our house which has probably not seen a car since the 80s. It still smells of gasoline.

Concrete absorbs petroleum spills. You may need to identify areas that are stained and do a thorough cleaning to try to extract as much as possible.

Yeah, also: The walls are covered with vapor-permeable lime plaster. the idea is to let a contractor specialized in this knock it all off. I have heard that there‘s probably lead in there from leaded gasoline, could be bad for health.

How do you have a basement garage? I've seen some weird arrangements, but did the driveway have some massive slope or something?
