Thanks!

MGBINSPECT, The cinderblock wall is only 2 blocks high above the foundation. Indeed, the spring run-off from the snows we get in NH are carrying an assortment of minerals and salts. The problem area lies at the interface between the cement foundation and the cinderblocks which places it at about surface level. It is not unusual to have 3-4 foeet of snow sitting all winter waiting for spring to melt. I will check out NCMA. Thank you for the suggestion. Mike

Mike, The garage is decidedly "downhill" from the surrounding property ergo the annual flooding. I do intend to seal the interior to ward off seepage from underneath the foundation (epoxy type sealant) but the bigger issue is the foundation/cinder-block problem. Once the holes and material that have been eaten away is repaired, I will apply an asphalt based external sealant along with the French drainage system but the main stumbling block at the moment is how to place a fix on the damage already done. I was hoping that there might be some sort of epoxy primer that would permit cement etc. to firmly adhere to the surroundings and fill the voids. Mike B.

I have some major damage due to snow run-off next to the foundation surrounding my garage. The run-off must include native minerals that have taken a significant bite out of the cinder blocks. My garage floods in the winter needless to say. I have uploaded several photos of the damage. Is there a fix for this that will be permanent, relatively easy to apply (I'm NOT Mr. Fix-it). Any advise would be greatly appreciated. J. M. Boteler Click to Enlarge 87.48 KB Click to Enlarge 78.71 KB
