So I am buying a home, and I am trying to figure out a fix for a needed repair.
The back of the house looks like it used to have a porch that was removed. Instead of sealing the wall up properly for the outside, they tried a quick fix and smeared some concrete over the interior brick, foam and wood. Because of this, when it rains, water leaks through the sponge into the basement walls.
Is a fix for this, just a few bricks? Or does this whole section of wall need to be redone? I really cannot figure out a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
