I’m in the middle of getting my bathroom redone actually the beginning of getting my bathroom done and there’s a big settling crack. The whole length of the bathroom probably 8 feet I wish I knew about this stuff when I got new floors for my two bedrooms because they had bigger cracks and they had mold, but at least the mold didn’t spread. I never thought to look on the Internet but it was about 4 1/2 years ago. It’s going to be a beautiful bathroom when they finish.
As far a RadonSeal - I hear it was better to use epoxy to fill the crack because one you use foam it's extremely hard to refill if there are any issues
Thank you very much! I didn’t think that the cracks would be a problem until all of the sudden I noticed a pile of rocks in the middle of the driveway. Apparently, the crack had to write it so much that it broke up into rocks. So I’m really looking at all kinds of crack filler for the other ones. We have our caulking gun coming tomorrow from Amazon.
That is a RU-vid I sent you on the seven best concrete crack, fillers from settling cracks, and there were a lot of other ones when I put in settling crack, concrete filler
What would you recommend to fill cracks in basement floors where water is coming up through? Doesnt have to be on this list. Any feedback is appreciated.
Great video all around, thanks. Two Questions: 1) Would I be able to use one of the caulk-type fillers (e.g. Silka Self-Leveling Sealant, Red Devil's Masonry & Concrete Sealant, or Sashko's Slab) for small concrete depressions created after pulling rug tacking nails out of my basement concrete floor? They are not cracks but are basically fairly small circular depressions, no more than 1/2" deep and 3/4" diameter. 2) If I CAN use those self-leveling, caulk-like products for these depressions, how much should I squeeze into each depression? e.g. do I want to fill each a bit above level so the product will settle a bit in time to be level? Should I aim for below level? Or should I squeeze a bit above level and use a trowel to level each? I know they are "self-leveling" but I've never used a product like that and don't know what to expect. Thanks for any knowledge you can share on this and again for this informative and well-made video - much appreciated!
Hi Chris. Will sikaflex self leveling sealant work around swimmi ng pool that has salt and chlorine splashing. When the tiler cut holes into the pool tiles to cement the glass fence stirrups in they left open holes under the foot plates. The salt water and washing down pool area is allowing water to seep under the tile causing little cracks. I called Sika Australia . They recommend me using sikaflex pool sealant due to chlorine splashing over area. Can u send me an email link so I can send you photos of what I need to fill to water proof around the pool fence supports Jo
Do not take advice about sealants and crack repair from this guy. Almost EVERYTHING he said is wrong. The only products that he lists that are not garbage are Sika self leveling and Simpson Strong tie injection epoxy. The polyurethane foam is ok for water infiltration but it is not a structural repair and contrary to what he said is very weak. I have been in this industry for over 45 years. I would never use ANY of the other products. They are the lowest quality consumer products. Never use acrylic latex for anything but interior paint prep. Water infiltration is not the place to skimp on quality. At the very least you will have to redo it every couple of years. ( or sooner) At worst it can cause thousands or tens of thousands of dollars in water and structural damage. I have seen it many times. Sika is a quality manufacturer I would stick to their recommendations.
