JKW Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Hello. I have a 3 inch gap between my house and yard, which runs along the width of the house, under my deck. Under my deck is a lot of gravel and dirt. I noticed there was previous water damage from the previous owners time and it seems to be the location in the basement of efflorescence. Is there something i can pour in the gap to stop the rain and water from snow melting continuously getting down there. Many Thanks.

Jim Katen Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 How about bentonite cat litter? When dry, it'll flow like sand all the way to the bottom of the void. Once it gets wet, it'll swell up and serve as a decent water barrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
