12 years ago a small leak through the poured foudation was repaired from the outside. After rains 9/9, it's back I removed drywall and the same old trickle exists. Can I do it from the inside this time?
The best way to do it is from the exterior, you can have it done from inside though a injection process, give us a call, we'll be more than happy to come by and do the application, thnak you for your question.
