I purchased a house last year and only noticing a very, very think hairline crack in my below ground basement concrete wall (maybe a foot in length). When a heavy rain occurs (really heavy), some water tends to get in and pools on the floor. How can I take care of this thin crack? I've tried some instant concrete powder which stopped it for a few days but now that is not working. I heard of some stuff I can inject into the crack and expands, like a needle etc...any ideas?
Some notes: Our neighbours driveway is paved right to the foundation of our house (long story, but the guy who lived in the house before be let him do this)....would this be causing the problem? It is not sloping towards the house and not sloping away either, its pretty level.
I recently installed rain gutters but it didn't help
Any help or insight would be appreciated
