Hello there - Please advise what’s the best solution for the gap between brick wall and concrete in my backyard.
Pictures attached for reference.
This issue is pretty much across backyard and sidewalk of the house.
Hi @Mo2,
This is an expansion gap, and it's pretty common to see a gap in it on older buildings that have experienced some movement. There's nothing to be particularly worried about there. If you feel the gap is unsightly, you could fill it with Sikaflex 11FC.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Mitchell
Thanks for your quick response Mitchell.
Do I have to put any form in the area where there is a gap? I can see some there is a form in there but not consistent throughout.
Thanks again for your help
Hello @Mo2
If you have an area that has no foam, I suggest using Moroday 15mm x 5m White Gap Filler Rod if the hole is very deep and there is no foam whatsoever. Push the filler rod about 10mm into the gap but no deeper than that, then place the Sikaflex above it. The fille rods purpose is to prevent the filler from flowing down the deep hole.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
