How To Fix A Hole Too Big In Concrete Wall

I am mounting some bike racks to a brick wall basically a special hook that you hang your bike on.

How to fix a hole too big in concrete wall.

A huge hole in the cement wall that separates our garage from our basement. If your aim is to make the wall look better a smooth surface is also easier to paint. If you re patching tiny nail holes you can cover up the repairs by dabbing on touch up paint with a soft cloth. Finally drill a small pilot hole into the fixed spot to guide the screw.

The injection process fills the crack from top to bottom from inside to outside. Then make horizontal cuts with a drywall saw. First tap the tee into the hole and mark where it needs to be cut to become flush with the edge then remove it and cut it to fit. The holes in the metal bike racks are big enough for 8 screws.

Clean the hole with a stiff fiber or wire brush. If you have a spare golf tee lying around it can be useful in fixing a hole that s too large. Using a golf tee. Or rather one very large thing.

I purchased some lead plugs which were supposed to accommodate 8 screws drilled holes for the anchors in the brick and installed the bike racks. Injecting a typical wall crack with an epoxy or urethane resin is done under pressure pushing the material from the inside all the way to the outside. If you re patching a large number of holes and other damage prime the patched walls before repainting especially if you re choosing a semi gloss or shinier finish. Patching such holes is a necessary part of keeping your concrete foundation wall in good repair.

Pop outs are small conical shape chunks of concrete that have popped out and left a hole behind. To fix a large hole you will need to cut out a piece of the wall all the way to the center of each stud on either side of the hole. The only way to repair foundation wall cracks successfully is by the injection process. Use a razor knife to cut down the center of the stud.

Using a cold chisel and a 3 pound sledgehammer undercut the hole by making the pop out wider at the bottom than at the top.
