Great pointers and clear directions, Thank you!
This will definitely help me to seal the gap around my 4" PVC septic line that's located below grade with groundwater penetrating into my concrete septic tank.
Thank you so much for the video!
Looks good. Great video.
Perfect for my application too Thanks!
Thanks for the video =)
Thank you so much for this, mine just started leaking!
Really appreciate the honest, clear, and valuable information. Having the same issue you described and gonna give your approach a try.
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome and well explained thank you very much! Going to implement some of what you provided here.
Great, glad it helped!

Thanks for the great tutorial
Glad it helped!
Great video - keep em up
Thanks, I appreciate it! I definitely will!
Thank you so much for the video. I have a very similar issue except my pvc pipe is for a downdraft stove top. Will be following these steps to remediate the issue but I only have access to it from the outside.
This should do it. Mine no longer leaks and I don’t even think about it.
great video!
Thanks, I appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Hey! Ours is the sewer pump pipe lol neato!
Sounds like a blast!
I have the same exact problem. I called my septic company, hopefully they will fix it, but I appreciate your video, thanks!
If you get a chance, let me know what the septic company does to fix it!
Uh this isn't septic prob...it's plumber or whoever built it....
awesome video. I have water penetration with heavy rain into finished basement from a long a pex pipe that is going under my crawl space that is high up on one of walls. Crawl space is raised up maybe 4 feet and you have to jump up to the crawl space. Anyway, leaking from under the vapor barrier along the pex pipe into the finished space. I can't excavate exterior of house in this area for French drain as a solid stone patio sits along sill. I have had success in past with spray foam and also hydraulic cement on two separate pass through leaks. My question. I have the water ingress along pipe BUT also under a trim board along the whole barrier into the finished basement. This board frames the opening into the crawl space. I think I can't foam under the wood as it will just back up water along the frame to other area and continue to leak. it is too wide of an area to foam. Maybe pull the trim and build up hydraulic cement and foam along the lip of that crawl space entry? Or a sump pump install.
Could same be apply for a pipe coming to my water meter, which is about couple feet below ground?
Excellent instructions. I don't think you mentioned where you live. I live in freezing Northern Mi.
The Loctite you used on the inside, would that be ok in our weather?
Any advice would help me.
The advertised service temperature for the Loctite is -40°F(-40°C) to 194°F(90°C).
I also live in temperature similar to you and have not experienced any problems and don’t have any concerns.
@@HowtoandReviewsOfficial Thanks for the quick reply.
Great video. I doubt you're going to have any issues, but on a Home Depot customer question the manufacturer said this about using Concrete Crack Sealant to seal a PVC pipe penetration: "QUIKRETE Concrete Crack Sealant should not be use to seal between two dissimilar materials. We recommend instead a product which remains permanently flexible like QUIKRETE Advanced Polymer Non-Sag Sealant." I'm not sure I follow their reasoning, since it should still bond to both materials and is stated to remain flexible. But maybe the product they recommend is MORE flexible.
Thanks for the information, I appreciate it.
I did check on mine in the spring and it is still all good.
i have a 1 inch hole that was drilled into my basement wall from the well drilling company... didnt end up using that hole. even though they said it would be fine, water comes in when raining heavy for a while... do you thing something like this would work to seal it up?
While spray foam might work for you, it is not advised for waterproofing, and if it were to fail, it would be a nightmare to clean out and fix properly. 1 inch isn't very big, so you can fully plug that with epoxy if you want. Technology has changed in recent years, and the best concrete patch is no longer concrete.
Open cell foam (i.e. Locktite, Great Stuff) are not waterproof, and some can absorb up to 75% of volume weight in water. Closed cell foam is less than 1% water permeable, a better option, for certain. In the author's situation, with the exterior accessible, I'd seal the exterior with hydraulic cement (i.e. large gaps) or EUCOLASTIC 1NS (for small cracks), the latter solution which I used on a sleeved water pipe thru the foundation wall. I have a core hole to fill, 10' below grade (i.e. no easy exterior access). I'll probably bite the bullet, and push in hydraulic cement thru the hole (which expands as it cures, and cures in water). I would ~~ NOT ~~ use an open cell form to plug a foundation hole or crack. I ~~ MIGHT ~~ use a closed cell foam on cracks. With less than 1% water permeability, closed cell foam will likely divert water before the it's saturated, and the expandability will better, fully plug a crack than say, a poly product like EUCOLASTIC (but which works, well, too). My 2 cents ....
Thanks for sharing, I appreciate it!
Hmm, I was told not to use that foam because it absorbs the water instead of blocking it?
Here is a spray foam that you may be more interested in. It is advertised for direct contact with water.

@How-to and Reviews How is this holding up? I have a below grade penetration in concrete wall leaking and want permanent fix.
@@jimw6991 Hi Jim, Me too--did you find a permanent fix?
@@healthreviewsplus I got a kit from Seal Boss .... it is a closed cell urethane foam epoxy that expands when it contacts water and Oakem. You clear space around pipe then soak the Oakem in the epoxy liquid pushing it back about 1 inch behind surface of wall. Hit it with water and it expands alot. Pros use it to seal actively leaking pipes. I then cleaned off excess and used hydraulic cement around the pipe ... it hardens with water. I won't know if it works because there is a drought here but I would be shocked if it didn't. 100 bucks give or take
@@jimw6991 Thanks!! Likely, the pipe coming from my well is leaking inside the basement wall, filling the sump from the bottom, and tripping off the water pressure tank. Drought here too. 🙃
That’s a terrible punch out of the foundation . Bad workmanship
I agree!
where do you get sheets of PVC?
They are in stock at Lowe’s for me. Search their website for “pvc sheet” and there are several options. I’m not sure what is in stock at different locations.
