I am in the process of redoing a bathroom and another area in my basement. Both areas had mold. I had tear out a stud that was covered in mold that was mounted to the block foundation and when I removed it I found a big chunk of mortar missing. When I was scrubbing the mold off of the wall I noticed a crack where the block meets the concrete floor. We've had a lot of rain the past few days and I went down to the basement to inspect and everything was dry.

I bought Quikrete Mortar Repair to use where the morar is missing and I was thinking of using it where the block wall meets the concrete floor. So I have 2 questions: 1.) is what I bought a good solution for the missing mortar 2.) is it ok to use where the wall meets the floor to seal it up?

This is what I bought: https://www.quikrete.com/productlines/mortarrepair.asp

of course its 'ok' but its also a patch, NOT a repair,,, you can only waterproof from exterior,,, that = digging

Ok, I was just asking if it's the right thing to use for what I need it to do. There are no leaks from this area so no need to dig...

The wall area, mix it stiffer,.....
For the corner of the floor, alittle runnier,....

I wish I would have got this advice sooner; I didn't have any replies and went and used the mortar repair. I like the sounds of your product and the 2 different consistencies but too late now.
