Default Crack in the basement wall

They are all fixed by injection of epoxy. They first drill holes along the
cracks, and then insert in some nails that are empty in center (kind like
tubes). Then they toast along the crack and clean it. Then epoxy were
injected through the nails.


Do you recall if they used a caulking gun or some other device for
injection?


They all provide with 10 year warranty. The oldest fix is 5 years now. So
far so good. I would prefer an outside fix. But builder would only pay for
the epoxy fixes ($300/crack).


Thanks for sharing this. I wouldn't worry about a 1/8" crack, however, the
water is seeping in through that crack whenever it rains heavily, so I need
to fix this. Got a decision to make...
