Home ServicesWaterproofing & Water Intrusion4HighHomeowner$ explicit

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.
