Leak in Foundation wall
 

Hey all,
There is a 8" deep circular channel the circumference of a dime that goes
into my poured foundation wall.(from where the forms were used.) It's
cement covering has come off and when heavy rain occurs I have a leak coming
in.
I bought the powder concrete mix and tried to fill the channel completely
but could not and I simply covered the opening up. Is this enough or is the
channel supposed to be filled completely?

Thanks a lot
Tec.

Should have used hydraulic cement.

OK,
What is Hydraulic cement ...does it come in a pressure tube that will inject
itself into my wall?
thx IN advance

We use DAm It brand hydraulic cement the slow setting version. It stops
water and expands as it sets to fill holes. Comes as a powder, you have to
work fast even with the slow setting version. You force it into the hole.
