Great video! I have a question: I will do the job from outside, since I don’t want demolish the drywall inside. Will the product all leak away? Thank you.

Next time break a little 6"x6" section of floor out , then put ports and epxoy on. That way if any water comes out it goes to the drain tile . Boom fixed 💪

I purchased my house 2 years ago and found my basement flooded after heavy rains. It was so bad that walking through it made waves like a boat moving across water. It was almost up to my knees sometimes and took hours filling pails, walking up the stairs and dumping the water on the ground away from the house. Finally I had a sump pump installed and the deep water problem was solved. However, I could still see small spots of water hear and there and noticed on the concrete wall there was a leak or two. It looked like a vertical line similar to the video. It seemed like one hole where water came in and flowed slowly down the wall creating that line. I'm not sure if I have several holes along that line like in the video. I was thinking of putting a coat of that popular Flex Seal on the whole wall and maybe even digging a trench along the outside of the wall to gain access to also put a coat on that part of the wall. My thinking is that if I only coat the inside, water will still seep in from the outside and cause damage over time to the outer part of the wall.

Radonseal diy foundation crack repair kit

[@nickpanhead7209]

Mike, is it the same steps for radon seal epoxy injection, I have more of a structural crack, I been talking with the guys from radon seal, and they suggested the epoxy for my situation. Dealing with a nice guy over there that's been very helpful to me. My crack comes down my foundation wall to the corner of foundation where it's got a gap of about 3/4 of an inch + or - . And I noticed some dirt in there. Going to excavate this week, power wash from inside the house to the outside. To clean out any dirt that is in there, I'm going to plug outside with hydraulic cement, then put a few coats of Blue Max water proof sealer on crack and surrounding foundation. Then I'm going to back fill with dirt, and grade away from house. Then I'm going to go inside and do the epoxy repair. How's this sound to you. I would appreciate your feed back. I can send you pictures if you like. Thank you hoping for a reply.

I am going assume this will stop any water leaks. Why would you not chisel the crack wider ? I have a small leak at the bottom of a hairline crack could i just make that bigger and put some hydrophilic cement in there?

why in the world would you want to chisel a crack wider

[@evedshavarah2703]

@@nanonorthlabs3375 why in the world would we talk this way. There could be a thought that if it was a hairline crack that it would not get enough epoxy through. It is not a dumb question
