Default basement concrete wall hole leaks

I recommend a fix on the outside.


Right-o. anything he does on the inside will fail because nothing
provides a hermetic seal. The only sure fix is to eliminate the water
pressure on the outside of the wall.

Dig down to the site of the penetration and put is some gravel fill
around the hole. This will divert any water that would otherwise build
up in the area.
