The crack is so narrow, can't it be filled and painted over?
Basement is under grade level. When soil is saturated outside the wall, the pressure is anourmous and it seeps through. Cracks go all the way through the wall. Only other option is more exspensive would be injection polyurathane foam. Or i coud put in sump system in. $$$$$$$$$$ Would like to find something inexspensive before I finish my basement. Thankya kindly Rose
Try to chip out about 1/2 deep straight in. Mix it into a peanut butter consistency. Try not to mix more than you need. It heats up and expands as it hardens. And it hardens fast. Force the hydraulic cement into the crack with a putty knife. I have also use my fingers to force it but wear a RUBBER glove. It will dry out raw skin.
