[Closed] Liquid rubber for sealing gap in brickwork

Any recommendations for some type of liquid rubber type stuff to paint onto/into a concrete base/brick wall interface that's leaking?

I can't see where it's getting in so hoping that there's something that could run into any gaps and seal them.

Thanks. Is that a recommendation or something that you googled - there's a number of options but I was really looking to hear from someone that had actually used the product.

I have only used it to paint on an existing wall that a new block and beam floor was butting up to.  Messy and perhaps a sheet of something would have been quicker/easier but it  was OK to apply and the building inspector was happy.  I don’t know that it will work for what you want, probably not good if aesthetics matter, but I think it would do the job.  I’d worry about why the water is there in the first place, is this for inside a garage?

As an aside, I have used other types of gungy stuff from that brand and always been happy with their product.  When I’ve tried others brands, for example Wicks own, I’ve sometimes not been so happy especially if I end up with something so thick it can’t be spread and makes hard work
