Homeowner needs a permanent method to seal a gap at the clean-out pipe seam where groundwater infiltrates during storms, causing basement flooding.
Existing solutions (e.g., caulk, epoxy) may not be durable or flexible enough for constant soil contact and thermal expansion; no clear recommendation for a permanent fix tailored to this specific cleanout configuration.
Workarounds Described
- slides screwdriver into gap to detect soil
- uses caulk on ceramic tile cover as potential fix
