Hello,
I need your collective knowledge again. In my basement, the drainage from the roof passes through the floor slab into the sewer. A year ago, I replaced the 90-degree elbow because it was broken. Now, however, the groundwater is pushing into the basement between the old concrete and the new concrete.
How can I make the concrete joint to the old floor slab watertight against pressure water? I was already thinking of first filling 25% of the hole with quick-setting concrete, then pouring in bitumen and letting it harden, and then filling the rest with normal concrete.
Idea 2:
- Fill 25% with quick-setting concrete
- Coat / plaster the hole with sealing slurry
- Fill the rest with screed concrete
Are there better ideas or possibilities?
Thank you in advance for your help.
