Every time it rains really hard I get a steady stream of water coming in around the water main coming into my house. This water only comes in when The ground is saturated so I do not think that it could be a leak in my pipes. I tried digging down to the main on the outside and patching the foundation around where the main enters the house. I did notice that areas of the foundation around the pvc pipe through the foundation were chipping away so I patched it with hydraulic cement. Unfortunately when I tried to test the patch by filling the hole with water it didn't work. The other thing that I think is a possibility is that the rubber gasket that seals the space between the pipe and the pvc is dry-rotted Any advice?
