lindy rig Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 One corner of my garage has some cracked and damaged blocks. Any ideas how to repair this? Would some concrete mix and a patch job be enough? Exterior Interior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindy rig Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 I met with a concrete guy and he recommended replacing the blocks. I would like another opinion.Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmboy1 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Call a place like Brock White or another masonry supplier. They have products that are designed to repair areas like this. They can give you a recomendation of a quick set product, that will work. Remember that a patch is always still a patch, and is never as good as the original.Do yourself a favor and stay away from the home center quick crete type products. Get something that will work there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surface Tension Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 A patch would be cosmetic. That block in the corner looks like it has a water problem.Always wet and then when it freezes it breaks apart little by little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindy rig Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 It does seem to be typically wet/damp in this corner.Is the block replacement the answer then? Should I use some water-proof paint or sealant afterwards?Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redlantern Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Replace the block. It might go deeper than you think. Sealing it after a month would help. Most likely caused by saltwater from the cars in the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
