  1. Hi Mike. This looks like a great product. I must ask though, have you ever had a call back? Meaning that the crack somehow still allows water to enter the basement and how you go about fixing it at that stage? Thanks for all your quality content. Great channel!!

  2. Just used this kit. I used my Milwaukee Caulk gun set on 4. It filled my crack all the way through to the outside of the wall which is under my deck. I guess I will be cleaning that up in a couple of days. This kit is awesome. Thanks for the video.

  4. Hi Mike. Kevin in Kansas. We bought a farm home and under the front door dormer we had a leak that would leak during hard downfalls under the staircase to the finished basement. We have Black Walnut trees on property and for some reason years ago they let one grow 20 feet from the front door. They also put useless gutters on the dormer that lead to nowhere. Bad combination. So, we watched your video and repaired the thin crack and cut the enormous tree. All good now. Thanks for your content. Your kit was amazing. Cheers.

  5. Hey, thanks for the informative video. Really appreciate it!
    Was wondering if you have tips on how to repair a corner pop (I believe that is what it is called? ) in an old basement corner at the top where it should be supporting the wood . It’s a fairly old house (120 years). Lots of cracks and large holes in the basement walls. What would be the best what to go about making it presentable or fixing it for selling? Thank you!

  7. Hello,
    Having done injection work for 21 years, (both epoxy and polyurethane) I do not agree with the way this repair is being performed. Foundation walls are about 10" thick or there abouts at least where I live. In order to obtain a proper bond, the entire substrate of the wall MUST be wet. Then and only then can the polyurethane be applied to the crack. Tight hairline cracks may need injection pressure up to 2200 psi to penetrate the crack. Without that happening the urethane can fail due to improper prep. This should be done with a crack cleaning agent first. After which it should be flushed out with water then injected with urethane. Any dirt in-between the substrate can cause the urethane to fail. Also to note, I may be pointing out the obvious but urethane is NOT a structural fix. That will require epoxy injection. Urethane has a time and place such as active leaks which may need immediate attention. The point of my post is not to devalue the product or what's being done but shed light on how to do this type of work properly so the fix will last as it should. Whenever possible I always recommend epoxy over urethane. I would be more than happy to help anyone with advice who may have a question. Take care,
