This guy seems like the most honest contractor on Earth. All of the dishonest ones make a big deal out of everything.

[@yopage]

Yeah, it would be easy for a contractor to show those chunks that fell out of the foundation to the owner and say he needs to jack up the house and do a major repair. UGGG

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Sal, well I hope God won't throw me out of heaven for that, lol, Mike

[@armandomorales9692]

I dislike contractors that make it seem like there rocket scientist like come on its not that hard oh hard yeah right when I ran into a contractor like that I tell them thank ill give u a call back never again

[@tripletgoat]

I like "it's no big deal"

Thanks Jezzee, Mike

[@Brian-Burke]

Nice job as usual, Mike. I can see the average person thinking that's unfixable. You make it look easy.

Yes! The axe (well, mini axe) is back! Go old school! No big deal. Thanks, Mike!

Thanks Bill, Mike

[@briansmithe3429]

I used Mike's techniques to repair my slab and foundation surfaces which had deteriorated due to our severe winter weather here in upstate New York. Came out looking almost better than when it was new. The hardest part was working on my knees under a 30' deck for a section that had crumbled away from under one of the block wall sections. I wouldn't want to do it again at my age (78) so I made sure to paint it twice with a good quality water proof paint. Never had done any masonry work in my life before tackling this job.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Brian, I am glad to hear that, Mike

[@joeblow1934]

Thanks for the share. It is always nice to see people willing to tackle jobs. I am 10 years your junior and have always felt that a person needs to get in there and do it. I am aware of my limitations and act accordingly, just don't coddle myself. Mike is definitely "the man" when it comes to just getting in there and doing the job without a lot of fanfare. As Mike says, "It ain't no big deal."

[@skyline289]

mike recently ive became a mason a few years ago up here in upstate NY local 2 im laying block and brick but have so many ideas for my home, regardless how many views you get i still love to watch and learn what you do and appreciate all your effort you put into your videos and demonstrations. i cant thank you enough for being the honest ambitious man you are and i think its awsome you take the time to reply to everyones comment. its no big deal with the right attitude, god bless ya

[@joanies6778]

I learn so much from your videos. My issue is inside my basement with plaster at the lower 24" of the walls damaged from a flood, falling down. There are several long vertical cracks in the concrete behind it, too. These were likely from a lack of rain gutters over time, which I've since had installed. (It's a 104 yr old home I bought 3.5 yrs ago.) I am looking for a good product to inject into the cracks after removing all the loose plaster and before covering them up, again.

Awesome repair, and the homeowners were blessed to have you on their job.
Any tips for removing paint from exterior brick walls? It's really trapping moisture and we want to try cleaning it off.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks PWN, I can't say about the brick, most brick are different and react differently when being cleaned, I would question the moisture problem, I haven't never remember seeing one unless rain water was getting behind the brick, thanks Mike

[@lancelothert]

I have a 115-year-old house with a poured foundation that is crumbling. Primarily surface damage, since it still seems pretty strong. The contractor came in and gave a 40,000 price tag to repair it. After watching your videos, my issues seem minor. I wish you lived in MN!

Hi Lance, lots of overkill out there, thanks Mike

[@ebw_servant_of_GOD]

[@renaissancebotticelli7104]

@@MikeHaduck I understand Mike. I am now retired. I feel confident by seeing your UA-cam especially this one., that i could tackle my foundation issues which match this person's.. but the bending and mixing and lifting is a bit too much for me. Keep making your videos and keep educating us! God bless!

[@bobflagg1901]

Outstanding video Mike!
I really enjoy it. I learned allot!
When doing this type of repair how cold can you go temperature wise?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Bob, usually 3 days without freezing is my rule of thumb, Mike

[@jawkeye]

Nice work, thank you for sharing. You always do such a great job and I appreciate you sharing how you do it. I wonder how that air gap seemed get in there, just freeze and thaw?

[@GPDarius]

Awesome, I can do this! Mike, why do many staircases and foundation sides on houses continue to show repairs like this one, fall out, crumble worse, etc. it’s a quick fix to sell a house. Wrong cement product maybe? Not wetting like you do? I see it a lot around my neighborhood.and thank you for these videos, Mike-you make it look fun!

But Mike, what caused the foundation to loosen like that? Was water coming down from behind the siding or something? Do you ever come across jobs that have a much more involved cause than a patch job would fix?

[@vincentdrago6022]

Good job Mike. Question is repair mortar better then rapidset mortar mix ?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Vincent, I like rapid set a lot, repair mortar is also good for small jobs and it dries slower which gives me more time on certain jobs, thanks Mike

[@vizioasdf]

For a second there, I thought you were gonna use Ramon noodles for the repair.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, Mike

[@j.b.9474]

Mike - how does the plaster "stick" to the paint? Would it be safer to remove all paint before covering the foundation with plaster?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi JB , nor necessarily, one you paint over it it usually it the stays, Mike

[@deboraadkins-smith2092]

Mike have you heard of self healing concrete. Could you do a review on it and how to use it please.
