In response to Re: Sewer pipe through basement wall
Hydraulic cement on both sides should seal the pipe. Plastic is a hard material to seal to since its surface is very slick. : When the basement walls were poured a 6 - 8 inch metal pipe was set in the wall to maintain an opening : for running the 4 inch PVC sewer pipe through. The opening is not sealed properly and water leaks into : the basement. I have done all that I can to the inside wall and the leak is now only a trickle when it rains. : My question is, how should this have been sealed from the outside? I am going to dig down to the pipe : and attempt to fix the problem but I want to find out what the proper repair should be. : Thank You!
