I'm running a water line to my shed and the supply line will come out of my basement under ground.
Someone suggested to just use grout to seal the hole around the pipe all the way through the wall.
I just thought I'd pass this question through here before I run with the grout idea.
What works best to seal the pipe so that I will not get any ground water leaking through between the pipe and the concrete?
The basement wall is 8 inch thick, poured concrete and is 60 years old (if that matters for anything).
The pipe is half inch PVC, the outside diameter of which is about 3/4".
I'm borrowing an impact drill that can drill whatever size hole I need.
I recently used it to drill a 1 3/4" hole, which it drilled with little effort.
As always, thanks for your suggestions!
