Reparging block foundation
Hi all. The coating layers over my block foundation near the hose are in poor repair. I want to clean and reapply these and redo the hose bib here. There seems to be two layers of material that were applied to the block, but I don't know much about this stuff and need some help identifying them.
Basically I need to know what I'm going to be buying so I can start looking up how to do this.
Thanks.

That's called parging. I added it to your title.
It's the application of a cement like product over the block. It looks like the second item may be paint over the parge coating.
I know you'll need to wire brush that area thoroughly to remove all the loose coating. Then wash with water and a little bit of soap. Rinse well.
As far as the actual product.... I'll let the pros fill you in on that.

Thanks everyone. Parging was the word I didn't know about. I see there are some good YT lessons on this.
