so i've got problems with a wet basement, it seems like the majority of the water is leaking in from one wall, and it seems to be because of the lack of mortar between the bricks.
as you can see from the image.. well no mortar really, and a lot of the water comes from that hole on the bottom right that was apparently "remedied" via foam spray.
anyways, i've never done this kind of fix before, should i just use hydraulic cement? or is there a better more effective way to do it?
also, my neighbor brought up the "simple" solution of just pouring in a bag of quikrete and spraying some water at it.
suggestions? this is pretty new to me.. thanks!
