My foundation isn't much of one lately....
I live in the north Georgia area and was one that even though the outside of my house wasn't recently flooded, the inside was. During the torrential downpours of last week, of course I didn't notice anything in the nearly finished part of my basement, but when I went in there a day ago....bam! Treadmill is dead and saw that the carpet was soaked. Mold was growing up the side of the walls, only about two inches, thank goodness, but still a bad thing. I have dug around the outside of the area and sandbagged it temporarily until I have some cash to go out and get supplies to fix it soon. There are gaps in between the concrete bricks that the mortar has disappated and crumbled away. I see that quickcrete has a formula that works in the cold weather, so I am not worried, as long as it doesn't rain and it will dry. My question is this: how do I get the mixed mortar into these gaps to plug them up to begin with??? I assume that I could do it like cake decorators do, by putting it into a bag and just squeezing it out into the cracks....Any ideas? All are welcome and appreciated.
