Hi All,
I have salt in my soil. I have salt powder on my house's foundation. Is there anything that will neutralize salt in your soil to keep it out of my foundation's cement?
Many thanks,

A fully charged battery! Then you'll be charged with salt and battery!

How do you use it?
That is making it worse! The solution gets wicked up into my foundation. Then it bubbles out.
Pellets. Like fertilizer. Are you sure it's salt ?

Paid a PE $100.00 to come diagnose it. Not sure if it is Sodium Chloride salt or some kind of Calcium salt. We have a lot of calcium in out water.
I hate to be negative about this, but you should be positive before you give advice. Might not be current, and can meet with resistance. This is, after all, ohm repair group.

We are an ancient lake bed with no outlet.

No, there is nothing that will "neutralize" salt. Salt, in solution, has a pH of 7 which makes it effectively neutral - neither acidic nor basic.
I thought we already figured out gypsum turns salt into calcium.
