If I seal this using cement or epoxy, should I be okay? Just had a guy (fully expected this) try to sell me a $2500 internal drainage channel system to sump. He would not do the simple epoxy of hydra cement. I have another guy coming tomorrow who seems willing to seal. Have people sealed around a main water line? Has it worked out alright?
All the pipe penetrations I've seen have been simply grouted in with a Portland cement product. That is what I would do. I'm somewhat surprised that whoever did that (a plumber?) didn't do that as part of the job.
I would use a waterproof portland cement product, not epoxy. Unless you have an active inflow of water (not just when it rains) you can use ordinary waterproof cement. Hydraulic cement just has additives to make it set faster. As deep as your hole looks to be, it will take time to work the cement all the way in to the back of it. You don't want the quick setting time, so whoever does the work has time to fill the hole before the cement sets.
Long story but, yeah, the plumber was a douche nozzle. So you wouldn't recommend something like Emocore?
I've never heard of that product and neither has the google machine or Wikipedia. Urban dictionary has emocore as the older (1980's) name for emo music. That would seem inappropriate for your needs. Check your spelling and we try again?
Many thanks. There is no hole for sure. City came out multiple times and concluded there is no hole. I ended up digging down to the water line outside. I used xypex on both the inside and outside, then used a hyrdoseal spray. I will be backfilling the hole tomorrow and hoping that the rains later this week prove the work was a success.
how much do you charge to replace a turboencabulator?
How hot is this neighbor?
Anyone have thoughts on Engineered versus traditional hardwood floors for above grade flooring?
We live in Boone so the weather is more extreme than other parts of NC. We had planned for traditional hardwood but or builder is recommending engineered. We don't want to deal with cupping or creaking from moisture issues. The house will be over a crawlspace with a commercial grade dehumidifier in the crawlspace.
