  • Is this something you can use a cold chisel in place of the saw? I'm trying to do it myself and save money. I also probably wouldn't use the saw much. Also what is the sealant you use to create the "dam" so no epoxy gets out?

  • I didn't know this incredibly effective fix was available. Great demonstration.

  • What if there is a swollen piece of steel underneath, how is that repaired?

  • Could someone list the materials used? I'm buying a house and it has foundation cracks and to keep costs low I think its something I could take on

  • Oh yeah, perfect time to chew gum and look like a complete idiot on TV

  • It's a cool video. But as a homeowner I would like to know if water was coming in through it and if this stopped it from further happening. Also, I would like to know what type of contractor to call to fix this. Also like to know if it's possible for me to do this myself? If so, what do I buy and more details would help. There are still some of us who would like to do it ourselves...if we are shown how to do it. Thanks guys!
