Thanks for the thought. Well this is um well I guess you'd call it a full basement. Basically I live in a split-level and the half the basement which has the crack is more above ground than the half that is at the lowest point. The crack has allowed water in twice now and we don't want the carpet trashed again. I guess as much as my wife will hate it, I may open the wall which seems to offer better options than trying to dig the hole. She doesn't want to have to paint again and to be honest the wall was hell the first time around. I had to get a friend to do the mudding since the damned drywall was two different thicknesses and we had to tear out a lot of wall to find the exact crack location. I think now I'd have to remove less, probalby could put the same piece back in if I'm careful, and it woudn't require as much mud work. The can of foam stuff does sound really slick, man I used that once to fill in around a door frame that the previous owner didn't install very well. Man oh what a mess, but wow, it sure did the job. grin Again, thanks for the advice.
