When it rains, water is entering through the PVC pipe hole for the flexible well hose. Only when it rains, or else I would be concerned the well hose was leaking. The previous owner filled hole with expanding foam which does not provide a water tight seal. Is silcone sufficient once I remove as much expanding foam. Will the outside pressure of the water push the silicone out over time? If so, any other suggestions?
Also, I had the well shocked when we moved in (the house was vacant for 9 months), but there still appears to be a smell in the water (only in the toilets), water taste great. I want to get a professional test done, does anyone have any recommendations for labs that work with DIYers via the mail/online.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
