Default What's a good way to seal joints of plastic drain pipe?

I have several sections of 4 inch corrugated drain pipe that are pieced
together with several snap-on T connectors. All of this is
above-ground, and the problem is that they are leaking a noticeable
amount in certain places from where the pipe meets the T, and it is
causing puddling in an area tha getts muddy easily.

I only really need to fix the leaking in one area.

I was thinking about going around the outside of the joint a few times
with some really wide teflon tape, and then secure that with some duct
tape, but that was just my first thought.

Got any better ideas?
