In this video I show you how to fix foundation cracks in less than 60 seconds. #shorts

The steps to repairing your concrete foundation cracks are as follows:

1. Clean the area and rough up the surface of the foundation around the crack.
2. Mix up hydraulic cement to a clay-like consistency.
3. Apply the hydraulic cement to the concrete foundation crack.

Obviously, there may be a bit more to your individual situation. If the crack extends down to the ground, I recommend that you excavate down to inspect the damage below grade (if you are able). For minor cracks, the solution in this video is likely adequate. However, if the crack is severe or extends through the entire foundation, there are other more involved repair tactics that should likely be used.

Thanks for watching everyone!

This is just a quick fix for superficial cracks. This crack was only visible on the outside of the foundation. If your foundation crack is more serious, please get it professionally evaluated. Thanks,

Remember to wash the wall with soap and water, and then again with a wire brush and concrete etch and then scrub again with just plain water to rinse any remaining residue off before applying any kind of hydro cement. It does not bond to dirt.

I doubt that repair will last more than 6 months before it cracks again.
All you did was cosmetically fix it and not stop the crack from happening again. I also doubt that mix went any more than 1cm into the crack.
Look into crack stitching for a more permanent fix.

You gotta do the injected epoxy thing or you're just doing a temporary cosmetic coverup.

This isn't fixing foundation cracks, this is just a hiding them.

You definitely were to the point and credible.. thanks.. as opposed to those fricking jack-wads who spend 25 minutes thinking they are so oh scientific and scaring home owner’s that just need to make a simple repair.

Total amateur. Steel facade mesh is always used to cover cracks, the cracks widen and deepen.

That stuff does not expand - it is cement.
