Concrete Block Repair Using Sakrete Pro Mix (Making Money!)

[@joshieb33]

Thank you for showing how to do this. It's a much needed repair in many older homes, especially from the outside where there was no water barrier prior to a certain year.

[@myronsmith2114]

I do these patches all the time in warehouses from the forklift blades running into them . Nice job Mike

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Thanks Myron.

[@Brandon-no3vc]

You use these products? How much you charge?

[@T.E.P..]

this is a cool project for your channel Mike!!! you know i've been a long long long time fan and sub on both my UTUBE accounts. I say to all of you ... don't do that music over the work. Voice over or SPEAK to the project. The music is not a strength. You speaking over what people are seeing is the STRENGTH. not this general music. Hope you guys all have a perfect weekend. One of my fav channels.

[@T.E.P.]

I agree with this guy … don’t visit the channel for genetic music Your voice over should be there What’s general to everyone is specific to nobody Love this channel always epic projects too

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated!

Thanks taking the time to create such a great video.

Was that from ice popping or fork lift, because all that block in the area (white) is showing water damage. Here the building inspectors will jump all over that, make fix the water issue and replace all the blocks.

[@bonanzatime]

That patch certainly isn't going anywhere, especially with them screws in there. But as a mason, I would just throw some type S mortar in there, squeeze it up against the edges with my bricklaying trowel and then dress it up to look like block. Do that by rubbing it with a piece of block after it sets up a bit. Done in 10 minutes, start to finish.

[@63flight]

A real mason would just clean out what you can and lay 4" ' block back in there or 3" or what ever fits. Not slap a bunch of whatever in there. So much easier and quicker.

[@bonanzatime]

@@63flight I've been doing 'all kinds' of masonry work since 1985 (Brick, Block, and Stone. Residential, Commercial, and Industrial. Big Jobs and Small Jobs). If your dumb ass wants to pay to replace the block, then the block can be replaced. But why do that when I (or any mason) can make it look like a real block in a matter of minutes.?. Most 'normal people' would choose the latter.. Mike here is a concrete man, and a very good one at that, And I Appreciate Him Very Much. But I can tell by this patch, he's not much of block mason, and/or maybe he is trying to sell this product.?.. I'm Not criticizing anybody or anything, just being honest with my thoughts from my perspective. Which is the purpose of 'comments'. ... And Yes, I would 'slap' that b*tch in there like nobody's business!😅

This sounds more like what I would choose to follow.

[@aussiecro.]

Mike, maybe a bit of 'light' on the subject would help us all...you included?

[@MikeDayConcrete]

I know, it could have been lit up better. Thanks

[@moneen94]

Great video! May I ask why you add the screws in the beginning?

[@christianjeske3248]

It’s like putting rebar in. it helps keep the repair from moving as it is setting up kinda like fastening two pieces of wood together it pretty much anchors the repair in because once the cement cures fully the screws will help hold it in place best way I can explain it lol

[@markcentola2817]

great video mike ,nice work

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Mikidy303]

nice job. But like Mike Haddock says "if you want to make it stick, you have to get it wet first."

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Mike's the Boss, he knows!

[@user-lf7en6rf8m]

Awesome thank you i have an area ike this and i cant add block, fantastic work 😊

[@viankalobosvalenzuela7456]

Excelente trabajo 👌🏻💯💯🧱🧱🧱

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Awesome, thanks!

[@LadyLawAlly]

Can this be used to resurface the concrete wall?

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Use Sakrete surface bonding cement to resurface a wall

[@daveyconcrete9801]

Fun little job.

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Good money maker too.

[@mattcasoni]

Why not use a little premixed? Expanding Foam to fill the hole and premix fill the rest. Exactly the same and less work

[@tamarawidrick5177]

Impressive. My turn now...

[@yorselrus1996]

Should you use a wire mesh if it's at least an inch deep

[@actionhiro4222]

Nice Video 😊

[@tickyul]

Really nice!

[@Brandon-no3vc]

How much would you charge for this

[@pitbull4029]

You could have cut the face off a new block then cut out the mortar bed and head joints and damaged block replaced with the new one and tuck pointed it back in.

[@MikeDayConcrete]

I could have, but that's no fun.

[@benzoh28]

Too much work for the cut out , most people don’t want to pay simple patch will do the job

[@pitbull4029]

@@benzoh28 not if you know what you're doing you get what you pay for.

[@herbeaversmels3633]

Wouldn’t recommend using the impact drill on the tap cons

[@markjordan4994]

Impressive.

[@richimiller8509]

Gloves would help

[@joeswheat]

And that's how you do a quick repair of damage caused by the fork on a forklift.

[@steelthunder76]

I always watch videos so I can fucking read through the whole goddamn thing

[@BigMike617]

That wall is crumbling because it’s under lateral pressure from water. While I applaud the repair, this is a bandage on a bullet hole.

[@rjandfamily6354]

No gloves

[@JBekus]

Stick to the flat work.

[@tevman69]

Great techniques but, I don’t think I could afford the bill. So instead, I’d put a full size, cut-out, dart board figure of ‘O-Biden’, in front of the damaged area. Naw, I’d pay the bill first. Know what I mean! Again, great video!
