Leaking floor cracks

[taylorchristie]

Hey there

I'd like to epoxy my garage floor but came across a problem. I have a 1 foot concrete wall at the base of the garage around 3 sides as its dug a bit lower then my backyard so all the water drains to the alley. The 1 foot wall has a crack in it that extends to the floor and goes down the floor for 6 or so feet. Now that the 3 feet of snow in the backyard has started melting it is leaking into garage through the wall/floor crack. What is everyone's opinion on fixing the cracks so the water doesn't wreck all my stuff and flow right through my garage. Thanks in advice

I'm no expert but I would try this... http://www.drylok.com/formulas/fast-plug/

Waterproofing is best handled from the exterior as negative side waterproofing is very expensive and often ineffective. If you can access the area from the outside, I would check with your local building material supplier about some GRACE products that come in a roll and then you back fill (but the dirt back). Another option would be a product called BARR by Chem link.

If neither of those options are available to you, google negative side waterproofing.

Aqua-Fin is another brand. You need to control the water prior to attempting any coating projects.
