I did the same thing with bondo and plastic straws cut to 1" lengths and held in place with toothpicks in the crack while the bondo hardens around the straws. The straws are 6" apart. Use cement crack filler tube from Lowe's in an ordinary caulk gun, inserted into each straw, Go from bottom to top of crack. Finish with 6 coats UGL waterproof paint. Been leak tight for 11 years now
My father's house has the same type of foundation but I didn't see any cracks like the one in this vid. He says every time there's a heavy rain, his basement gets flooded near one of the windows. He's tried spraying something to try to seal where he think the issue is but I don't think it's helping.
would this work on an inground horizontal circular concrete hot tub, that has a crack that is 24 inches above ground, all around the hot tub, 6 inches below the top of the hot tub where you enter.
It's not advisable to use a rigid curing epoxy outdoors. For your situation, a flexible but tough roll on membrane will be best. It will flex with temperature fluctuations, keep water out, cost you less, and you can probably color match the concrete. If you're worried about the structural integrity of the tub, give us a call and we'll try to trouble-shoot with you.
Dampness in the crack won’t hinder epoxy. It will displace the water as it’s injected. Sometimes you can even hear gurgling while injecting. You just need to make sure the crack isn’t actively leaking. A damp surface will not allow the 602 paste to adhere and flowing water if strong enough can push out the material you’re trying to inject. If using urethane, it will simply use dampness in the crack to react, allowing it to chase into the pores of the concrete. You choose epoxy or urethane based on whether you want a rigid structural repair (epoxy) or a tough but flexible repair (urethane).
First of all, its called a footing, not a footer, there is no such thing as a footer. You should install a filter sock over the pipe , not that cheap cloth. You supposed to use washed gravel, not bluestone. You need to install a drainage board over your foundation membrane.
