If you haven't seen the previous video of fixing the exterior foundation cracks, click the link below for that! ua-cam.com/video/FfCWMvHDCns/v-deo.html We are done fixing all the cracks! Well, except for the walls throughout the house and the cracks in the brick mortar 🤦🏻♀
thank you for sharing your journey. I'm researching and watching drylock videos because I have to do the same thing for my basement. The best part is when it's your house even if its not perfect, you learn without the hefty professional doing it price. I love diy projects. Great job!
I’m also renovating a basement. You apparently did a great job waterproofing, which is critical. One “tip” I can offer is don’t be afraid to tint. (I’d have darkened the light gray paint to hide the dark gray patches.)
Putting drylok, or any waterproofing on the inside of a block wall, will lead the disintegration of your block wall. Wall. The wall will still have water in it, and you're keeping the water in the block. You need a waterproof from the outside.
Thanks for sharing your basement project. We are doing our basement now. It is so time consuming and messy. If possible, can you share the brand name of your dehumidifier. By the way, I love your paint inspector. 😊
Garage was erected 19 years ago so I don't think my cracks are foundation caused. We did have a tornado pass through last year & I can't think of anything else that would've caused cracks after nearly 20 years. Regardless I need to get the cracks repaired

Gray doesn't look too bad! No need to shed tears about not being an expert(10:08 lol). You guys are learning so much in this process it's awesome!
The gray has really grown on me! Glad we went with it
I think the grey is lovely! You guys are supremely helpful. Thanks!
Glad we could help!

Granted, the gray may have already been “dark enough” compared to other options.
Thanks for the tip.
Awesome
Good enough for a basement
Looks good you guys did a nice job. Just so you know you can paint over drylok with any color you like.
We did not know that! It has grown on us, but we may do that in the future! Thank you!
I like it
Thank you!

Thank you! 🙏🏻 it was quite the project, but it is 100% worth it! Our basement dehumidifier is an Aprilaire model 1710.

How long have the cracks been dry free?
The repair has worked great and we haven’t had any issues since the repair was done. Hope that helps.
Wet the cracks before grinding, it really cuts down on the dust
Great tip! Thanks!
Need drainage and sump pump first.
Already have that. Thanks
