Home ServicesWaterproofing & Water Intrusion4HighHomeowner$ explicit

Homeowner needs a permanent, reliable seal for the seam between a PVC cleanout pipe and foundation wall to prevent stormwater infiltration and basement flooding.

Existing methods like using a cleanout plug or caulking tiles don't address the gap at the pipe-foundation seam, allowing water to bypass the plug and flood the basement.
