Leak From Small Crack In Basement Floor
First I am a paint contractor so this is out of my field just trying to get some ideas for her.
I have a client that has a small 1"long x 1/2"wide x 1/4" deep divet and 6" hairline crack in the center of her basement floor. When the ground is very wet and we get a rain she gets water up through them maybe a 2 sq.ft. puddle. What would you suggest as the fix for this? Can it be sealed? I have heard of an injected material that expands to cause a seal can't recall any details. Who should she call? Thank you Jim Bunton |

Re: Leak From Small Crack In Basement Floor
Hydraulic cement. Mix it just a little soupy and work fast.
Git Rot is a penetrating, flexible epoxy intended for wood but works fine for hairline cracks in concrete.
