Poured Concrete Wall Repair Idea Request

Poured concrete wall repair idea request Iíve had a couple of customers contact me asking about concrete basement wall surface blemish repair. Many newer homes in our area have poor quality surface on concrete basement walls with many pits, voids, cavities and scale. Though my bread and butter is basement finishing and renovation, they donít want the possible in-wall moisture issues that can arise in, and behind wood studs, insulation and plastic building materials used when covering the concrete with drywall or paneling. Iíve never recommended concrete surface repair because my personal experience with any of those products eventually fail, losing surface adhesion. Iíve told them that the cost and hassle would eventually be much greater that simply walling it in. Some customers with special needs donít want this though. They just want the natural concrete (without the imperfections) because of its strength and ability to wick moisture into the air without trapping it somewhere to start the mold process. Any ideas?
