Water intrusion through well water inlet sheath — how to seal?
What about it?
We recently had exceptionally heavy rains in my area, far beyond normal.
After the heavy rain, water has started to drain into my basement via the sheathing that houses the well water inbound line (I.e., the leak is not between the exterior pipe and the foundation, but is coming through between the sheathing and the pex line). Note: the well inlet line was replaced about one year ago and fed through the existing sheathing.
We have ruled out a leak in the well line as the source of water. It is confirmed water coming from the ground around the house.
My question: how should I attempt to seal this up? I have looked at hydraulic cement, expanding foam like lock tite or Great Stuff, and rapid set non-say sealant. None seem exactly right for this but I am looking for a short term fix. What would you do?
Long term, I assume someone needs to dig up the outside and make the fix there.
Sump pump tied into house drainage
What about it?
This sump pump was installed in my crawl space a couple of weeks ago. I checked to down there and not only has this pipe detached from where it was pumping to drain, but it this was tied into my houses gray water drainage (kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks,etc), so now there is tons of water in my crawl space.
The company who installed it is coming today. My top question. Is it standard/code to tie in a sump pump into the houses drainage system, versus its own drain system?
