Linda\\u2019s basement has a crack between the block wall and floor.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

She\\u2019d like to know if the crack should be filled in and if so, how she can do that.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

I recommend Linda fill the crack using Sikaflex Concrete Fix

\\n

\\n

\\n

This cures and retains its flexibility between wall and floor transitions.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

You can find this at Home Depot and if not, they\\u2019ll order it for you.

\\n

\\n

I\\u2019ve used Sikaflex Self-Leveling sealant for expansion joints in my driveway and really like it.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Whatever sealant you use, make sure to clean the surfaces thoroughly.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Just make sure to use lava rock because it doesn\\u2019t explode!!!
