While digging, I found an old clay pipe under the basement slab that is bringing in some water.
It was a downspout now disconnected.
It's about 6 feet long, probably broken somewhere along the path, and collecting water from the surrounding soil.
What's the best way to fill/cap it?
I was thinking to cap the basement side and pour concrete from outside. My doubt is that the concrete will shrink while drying, and it will not solve the problem.
suggestions?
