Default Foundation Wall Repair

Greetings All.
We just had a sustained rainfall and luckily had very little water come
into the basement. The only spot it leaked through is a below grade concrete
wall. I thought I heard of a product that expands as it cures in concrete.
Is Hydroplug or Hydroseal something that sounds to familiar? Or any ideas to
work from the inside? I realize that a proper fix is from the outside, but
this was such a tiny leak, it's not worth digging in the neighbors yard.....
TIA, Mark


Me too, please! I have a small nuisance leak that shows up once or twice
a year, halfway up the poured concrete wall, presumably where a tie bar
between the inside and outside forms was. Murphy being Murphy, the
outside of the spot is buried under a low deck. Epoxy injection seems to
be a work-around worth trying, but I have never seen the kits on the
shelf at the borg.
