Our 1930's barn located in SW Wisconsin has what I best describe as a glazed clay tile/block foundation walls. Hollow block and appears to be of a similar or same material they made/make drainage tile out of. Several of the blocks have holes in the exterior side, or are partially broken out. Wondering best way to repair the blocks? Fill with mortar? Use hydraulic/water proofing patch cement? Use vinyl patch cement? Back fill the holes with material such as foam?
Was thinking of a stiff mortar mix, back fill where I can with sheet foam insulation in the blocks to fill the cavity. Probably would need to patch several layers where large holes or block face is missing. Then thinking about putting on a coat of exterior grade water proofing paint.
Thoughts? Ideas? Above a waster of time?
Thanks
