I have a wall-to-wall crack in my basement concrete floor. �The crack

vinegar. �After it completely dries, I plan to fill the crack with
gray concrete caulk. � Is this the best way to seal a concrete floor
crack? �

This area will be used as a full bath/laundry room and no floor
covering will be installed. �Two radon tests were performed, with
results less than 1/10 below allowable levels, so I'm doing this for
appearance and any possible spills. � TIA


does this area have water entering from below?
