Comment on Filling/Sealing Flat Snap Tie Holes in Poured Concrete Foundation Walls by Jaero Thanks for the replies guys.Sorry about using the term "snap-tie" in my original question. I didn't realize that is a trade name for a specific product. These are flat-ties. There really is not a "hole" left behind; they break off only about 1/8" below the surface. The end of the tie is visible in a little slot in the surface. The brick pattern is part of the forms and the slots align with the fake mortar joints.

They aren't very noticeable but they certainly will be if they start to rust. I think they could be filled if needed, though the fill material would probably be conspicuous. The walls below grade will be covered by asphaltic damp proofing and drain board. Going to be back filled with crushed stone all the way up to within a foot below grade. Plus the house is located near the top of a hill so I'm expecting excellent drainage around the house. Seems to me that these slots should be filled but the contractor said exactly what Michael said - been doing this forever and never had a problem. If anything is done I'll probably need to do it myself and I don't want to make a mess of my brand new walls. I'm a bit surprised there isn't a standard product to fix this issue since the flat ties have been around for years. Guess that is evidence that this isn't much of a problem. Thanks again.Jim
