Why Filling Concrete Blocks or Core Pour/Core Fill Is So Important For Basement Foundations
Filling concrete block cores or block and fill foundation concrete pouring is a reliable and essential method for ensuring strong foundations due to the filling of your concrete block cores. When properly done, core pour concrete pouring can provide your basement or foundation with structural support that will last for many years.
What Is Core Pour Concrete Pouring?
Watch a Short Video on Our Core Pour/Core Fill Process
Core Fill or Core Pour, also known as Masonry Grout, is a Type of Construction Material used to fill the cavities in concrete block or masonry walls. When it comes to basement foundation repair, core fill provides several benefits, including:
Improved structural stability: Core fill helps improve the structural stability of your foundation by filling any voids or gaps in the masonry walls. This helps prevent any further damage to the foundation, such as cracks or bulging.
Enhanced moisture resistance: Core fill is highly resistant to moisture, which makes it an ideal material to use in basements that are prone to leaks. By filling the voids with core fill, you can help prevent water from entering your basement through the foundation walls.
Increased insulation: Core fill provides an additional layer of insulation to your foundation walls. This helps to regulate the temperature inside your home, reducing your energy costs and keeping your home more comfortable.
Reduced noise transmission: Core fill can also help reduce noise transmission between floors. By filling the voids in the masonry walls with core fill, you can help dampen any noise that would normally be transmitted through the walls.
Overall, core fill or core pour can be an effective solution for repairing a leaking basement foundation, as well as improving the overall structural integrity, insulation, and soundproofing of your home. However, it’s important to work with a professional contractor to ensure that the core fill is installed correctly and that the repairs are done properly to prevent any further damage to your foundation.

Filling your Foundation Block Cavity with Concrete
Core Pour serves to strengthen your basement foundation.
Core Pour is a type of structural repair for cement block foundations, also known as cell fill, masonry block fill, mortar pumping or grout pumping.
It is a calculated mixture of cementitious and aggregate material used to fill cinder blocks, used to provide stability to a block wall. This process can be used in new block walls to add strength or can be used during a repair process to strengthen weak or compromised foundation walls.

Where basement and foundation
Cracks And Leaks Can Occur
Tie rod holes in basement walls are created by the 5/8” rods used to hold the steel forms together during the original foundation pouring of your basement. After the concrete has cured, the rods are disassembled and when they are removed, holes are left that go straight through your foundation.
Problems can also occur if window wells were not properly fastened to the wall. During the winter, when the ground freezes and swells, it may eventually push the window well upwards causing the earth to flow underneath the well and into the drain.

Cracks up to 25mm wide could be a sign of structural damage and should be inspected and repaired by a professional. Very severe – any crack above 25mm in width indicates serious structural damage and will need major repair work, which could include underpinning and rebuilding.

The guys from DoneRite have saved an old guy a lot of grief. Their work was fast and very clean, getting into and out of the basement, and keeping my shelves protected.
They were friendly, knowledgable. When on breaks, they helped me understand some of their work.
No more up and down stairs emptying buckets every day, and my sleep is peaceful now.

The DoneRite team was masterful, I highly recommended them!
We bought our home in 2015. It had waterproofing previously, but was limited, we had more work done years ago. The extra work was effective but not covering our whole house. Sadly, more leaks, and more complicated.
I tried to learn enough before they came to do an estimate. They provided a quote covering both outside and inside and explained a technique to connect both wraps I had not heard of when looking up waterproofing.

A window well filled with water, and then leaked, like Niagara Falls, in May.
The crew at DoneRite excavated and repaired a crack within a few days of my call.
You guys are amazing. Thank you!
