I have a crack in my poured concrete foundation that I want to fix. *I
searched the net but many of the suggestions were for an interior repair.
The basement is finished at that point and I don't want to tear everything
oug. *I went to my local builders' supply to see if they had any advice..
They suggested I go to HD. *The guy there suggested I chisel out the crack,
parge with hydrostatic cement and apply a blue coating (I forget the name).
Nothing was said about a membrane. *Any suggestions?


WAIT & ASK THE CRACKHEAD OF THE GROUP...HE'S AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE
BOOWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
NO SERIOUS.....CHISEL IT OR CUT IT OUT SO THE TOP OF THE CRACK IS
SLIMMER THAN THE UNDERSURFACE...SLANTED SO TO SPEAK TOWARDS THE INSIDE
OF THE CREVICE.
AND USE CERABOND ( THE BLUE STUFF) AMD LET IT DRY, BEFORE YOU APPLY
YOUR CEMENT OR CRACK SEALER IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER, BUT UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU SMOKE IT ....HAHA....
