Patching Hole Around Conduit In Concrete Wall

I considered a lot of options.

Patching hole around conduit in concrete wall.

4 scoop up about cup of prepared mortar mix. Pack the material in tightly and make sure the cement connects with both the pipe and surrounding wall. If you can insert a small bottlebrush to get out any dust or silt that s on the concrete this will really help ensure patching success. Both procedures follow the local codes for poured concrete walls in my location.

Press hydraulic cement into the hole with a small trowel or putty knife. Use a hammer and chisel to remove loose concrete from the hole. If necessary fill the gap in layers of cement to build up the area slowly. Also try to flatten out the bottom of the hole to create a stable level surface for the new patching material.

The guys at home depot had a lot of fun lamenting the fact that the hole existed to begin with and then suggested that i build a mold on one side of the wall and fill it in with a pour of concrete. Spray the surface and inside edge of the cinder block hole with enough water to dampen the block but not so much that the water runs down the wall. Knock away the cracked and crumbling concrete around the hole.
