Not to steal KC7CN's thread on concrete crack repair, but inspired by it to bring up an issue that I have, I start this new one.
I have had enough, every time we get a significant rain, like we have been having today in the Triangle (non-stop from just before daylight to present) I get water in my shop (garage). It's what I call a daylight garage. The front is open but most of the other three walls are below grade. The water seepage doesn't really affect any of my tools, as I have raised everything up after the first incident. But it does make a huge mess to clean up and causes my wife to ask me to fix it...I don't know how :icon_scra :5dunce: I have a two fold problem. First the water is coming up from underneath the slab, through a narrow crack in the middle of the slab. Second, it is also coming in from the intersection of the slab and the block walls.
So I am looking for suggestions as to how to cheaply seal the crack and the intersection between the block wall and slab to keep the water out.
TIA,
Dave
