| I have poured concrete basement walls and several of the tie rod holes are leaking.
I was wondering what is the best method of repairing this problem. So far I've heard of using plain hydraulic cement, and also water activated polyurethane. Any suggestions would be appreciated ! |

| There are a number of polymer modified fillers that can be used. These are the same materials that are used for concrete crack injection. (See link for example.) There are also swell plugs, a though I don't have experience with these. In the old days, the formers used cork covered with asphalt. They worked fine too. Look for a local concrete supply company for the most appropriate products, not the big boxes. |

| A commercial roofing supply company probably would have the materials you need. NP1 by Sonolastic would be good. Best if applied on the outside. |
