IN A NUT SHELL --- Wall - Floor Seam Leak Repair

The fix is almost like doing a fiberglass cloth and epoxy seam/repair on a boat. When the surface is dry, clean really well to get off all dirt, clay, etc. Start with an epoxy primer/sealer on the exposed concrete (ESP 155). Paint on a layer of FC 2100 /kevlar epoxy along the seam and up the wall a few inches and out onto the floor a few inches. Press into it a layer of fiberglass cloth, extending up the wall and out onto the floor. Add more epoxy over the fiberglass cloth to saturate it with epoxy resin. Generally add a second optional layer of fiberglass cloth over the saturated first layer and saturate it too (two or more layers of cloth are better than one). Hours or days later come back and brush on a fresh lower of epoxy over the first fiberglass/epoxy layer. This is to make sure you get any thin spots, missed areas or tiny pin holes covered with epoxy. Now wait for the next big rain storm. If you see areas of small leaks over your repair, repeat with more epoxy or more epoxy and fiberglass cloth. You cannot just fix the immediate area around the original leak - the leak will just move down the wall/floor a few feet. You generally have to do the entire wall/floor length.

Paul -- "I had been fighting a hydro-static leak between my floor and foundation on the south wall of our basement that has a terrace garden on the exterior for about the last 5 or 6 years. I have applied several coats of concrete patch that were very ineffective.

The advice from the largest local “basement leak expert” was to cut our a catch basin, about 12 inches wide and four inches deep, the full length of the wall (about 25’), allow the water to leak through and then pump it out of the catch basin with a sump pump. That would have cost $3000-$4000. My philosophy was to keep the water out, not to invite it in and pump it out.

When I saw the ad on the internet for this product I thought that it might work, so I emailed Paul Oman and we exchanged thoughts and ideas... Early in April I applied one coat (half of the product) and sat back during the rainy season to see what would happen. We had record rains in St. Louis this April and so-far-so-good; no leaks. I am convinced that it is a good product".
