100+ years ago, my house had a well in back that was housed in a large concrete enclosure below ground level. The entire enclosure is still there, with the old well head, but that well stopped producing many years ago.
I would like to put the concrete enclosure to modern use as a cistern to catch gutter drain off water. The problem is that the enclosure has a few horizontal cracks that go almost completely around and allow rainwater in when it rains. The cracks are not wide, but are about 3-4 feet below ground level.
Are there any particularly good hydraulic caulk or epoxy/cement products I would be able to use to fill there cracks?
Thanks,
vince
