Hi all. I have a spring that my family and my sisters get our water from. The holding tank was built...80 years ago? It is concrete walls on two sides that run up to the base of the bluff that the spring comes out of. The walls are in need of some repair. I've talked to the folks at UGL (?) about any of their quick setting products that might work, they had nothing. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I could use?
What is the drying time for just simple mortar? I can drain the water out of the "tank", but then we are all without water.
I've also thought of "lining" the inside of the wall with some thick plastic sheeting as the hydraulic pressure of the water would force the plastic into the cracks and at least slow the leaking.
Thanks for any advice.
