The original patching on the interior wall was very thin. I broke it
open and filled the hole with hydraulic cement. Water came through
with the next rain. I chiseled a groove around the pipe and filled
with epoxy. Still have water. I have dug a hole on the exterior and
exposed the pipe. What type of goop should be applied here? And how
the heck should I test it, because I've discovered that the shovel is
not my tool of choice?
Thanks for any help.

is the pipe leaking?

if it is it must be replaced.......

is the problem ground water? sounds like thats it. does it have a easy
path say broken plugged downspouts gutters, drain lines? ground lower
at home or away from home?

we need more info
