Slab crack repair home depot mods#

If it were my house, the decision would be dependent on if you ever get seepage through the wall. If you measure the crack during dry periods and in the spring you may find that it is wider during the wet spring but closes up in drier months. It may require some prep to the crack to ensure good adhesion. The best fix in my opinion (tech services for a cement company) is injecting an epoxy crack repair, this provides strength similar to mortar bit better in tension as well as some flexibility like caulk. Caulk is another option and will be more flexible for some time but will also not be a permanent fix and poses more risk of tapping water behind it. I'm not certain this is it, but based on the available info it seems plausible.ДЇilling the crack is advisable, mortar (which contains hydraulic cement as well as sand), portland cement, masonry cement (both hydraulic cements), etc will work but those too will likely grow (but still provide some protection). That can lead to soil pressure pushing against the length of the wall and eventual failure at the restraint point (ie the corner), which may have started as a hairline crack that would grow. The downspout is in the vicinity and while it appears to be routed away I would suspect at a few points in the past 70 years it has been compromised (even if only by excessive runoff from roof melt meeting a blocking pile of snow on trying to exit). Reporting it brings it to our attention and will definitely be looked at by someone. If something is not reported, it will most likely slip past us. If you see anyone breaking the rules above, please report the post and/or message the mods.
