I have a uncovered brick porch. Underneath the porch is the entrance to a basement apartment. Every time it rains, the entrance area to the basement apartment gets wet. The ceiling to the entrance is concrete, so the porch bricks were laid on a bed of concrete. My first thought was to tuckpoint the bricks as necessary and then coat the porch with a clear water proofer. My question is, in this application what would be the best material to regrout the bricks with? Should I use normal mortar, or is there an epoxy product (like an epoxy tile grout) that would work better for me? Any help would be appreciated.
