If necessary tap in lightly with a hammer.
Hole in concrete basement wall.
Use an epoxy injection system for basement wall crack repair.
A thicker application may require more time to dry.
Patching such holes is a necessary part of keeping your concrete foundation wall in good repair.
Remove any concrete dust then press the anchor into the hole until it is flush with the surface.
Expand the drill hole to accommodate the anchor.
Some of the holes have water dripping through them.
To create a smooth surface when these items are removed the hole must be filled.
Common spackling products do not adhere to the concrete and are not suitable for repairing holes or cracks in your concrete walls.
The time it takes for concrete filler to dry will depend on the product being used and how big and deep is the crack is.
A water leak led me to remove drywall in my basement and to my surprise i discovered rows of holes 5 8 inch diameter in my concrete walls.
We repaired a foundation wall which had an 8 ft long crack that leaked water into the basement during periods of heavy rainfall.
After hearing that i seriously considered just gluing a piece of plywood over it and calling it a day.
Observe the entire wall from a distance of five feet 0 13 meters away after the location of the first tie rod hole leak.
The hole cord maybe up to 5 inches 12 7 cm or more thus leaving a void between the outside of the sewer pipe and the concrete.
Prior to backfilling the foundation on the outside these voids are typically filled with hydraulic cement.
Viewing the wall in this method will help see the others as they may appear as a small extrusion or irregularity in the surface of the concrete.
Holes in concrete walls are more likely the result of drilling into the wall to secure shelving or to hang other items on the wall.
If your aim is to make the wall look better a smooth surface is also easier to paint.
Insert the concrete screw into the anchor and drive into the wall until secure.
If you are using concrete crack filler protect it from rain and water for a minimum of 24 hours.
The hole should be slightly smaller than the maximum width of the anchor.
