Looking for those DIYers out there. The house that we are buying has 2 hairline cracks in the foundation that were inspected and aren't showing any signs of leakage, and were noted as "normal" but should be "monitored". Well, I want to finish this basement when we close on the house, so I am wondering if anyone has ever patched a hairline crack before?
I have seen those setups where you epoxy tubes along the crack, then seal the crack, and finally inject epoxy into those tubes to fill the crack itself. That is fine, but these 2 cracks are about 12" and 16" each and are quite small and those types of kits seem to start getting a little pricey (about $145 or more) once you factor in the epoxy gun and special pieces.
I didn't know if there was just something simpler that could create a seal to prevent damage and to hopefully prevent the crack from expanding.
Any thoughts on the idea would be great.
