Wet Wall around pipe

Post Reply | Watch this Post

In the unfinished area of my basement I have the
main water supply coming into the house exposed.
The pipe is about 30" below ground level. Around
the pipe, water is seeping in and leaving water
dripping down the wall and standing on the
concrete floor. My plan is to fill dirt around
the exterior of the house to prevent water from
standing and running down the exterior wall and
coming in from the area around the pipe. I do
feel that the area around the pipe should be
chipped out and filled. What should I use to fill
this area in. I would prefer to use a premixed
caulk of some type but want to be sure that what-
ever I do it will last and not be a reoccuring
problem.
