Guys,

I removed the tin supporting the baseboard hot water heat down one wall in the basement and found the source of the leak. Water was coming in beneath one of the bottom foundation wall blocks. The block wall is built on a footing and the floor of the basement is concrete.The opening is about an inch long and it looks like there always was a weakness in the mortar there.

The basement wall is accessible and I am planning to seal along the full length of the wall to fix the leak and improve the seal between the floor and the wall.

There is room enough to add 2 inches of sealant/mortar along the bottom blocks.

Should I use mortar or some kind of sealant?
