Hi all,
New member here. I'm having an issue in my basement that I'm kind of at a loss trying to fix. Hopefully I can explain it in a way that people can visualize and understand...
So, in my basement, my main water line comes in through the basement wall (obviously). It is a 3/4" copper pipe that comes in through a section of 1-1/2" PVC pipe (so, a pipe inside a pipe). The issue I'm having is, where I live, the water table is very high, and groundwater is steadily flowing in through the INSIDE of the PVC pipe. It is not a strong flow, more of a leak, and it goes right down into my french drain, so it's not a major issue, however, I'd still like to seal that off somehow so that the water is not getting inside. Is there any way or any product that can seal this off properly? I can't think of a way to seal it off while water is steadily flowing in, and since it's groundwater flowing in, there is no way for me to "turn off" the water coming in so I can plug the leak.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
