Concrete/Foundation experts!
 

worth a try here.

the fence guy putting in posts accidently hit the foundation membrane that keeps the moisture out. it's about 3-4 inches across and 6 inches down.

not sure if it's repairable but I was able to take the flap and tuck it under. when the concrete gets poured it will hopefully get pushed/sealed up.

wondering if this would be ok?

here are the pics before I tucked in the flap

Paint it up with thick, gooey foundation sealer. Should be able to find something comparable in a quart can rather than a 5 gal bucket.

What you don't want is for the cement to fill the voids behind it when you pour.

i was thinking that since i was able to push the flap in and make it flat, that maybe i'll just put gorilla tape over the cuts

Please say that you aren't serious

why not?

the flap is tucked back underneath so there's no hole anymore, but the tape along the cut would just make sure it's in place

edit:
after giving some thought. you are right. i should put some kind of sealant in the back, then seal off the seam, then tape it off.

BUT, the issue of liability comes in to play..... so i could let the contractor fix it and hopefully fix it the way i want it.

Haha I had no idea anyone in the US knows who Mike Holmes is.

"I'm going to make it right."

Good plan!

Also, I'd suggest you work with the contractor ..... :)
