@@SakreteOfficial I used where we cored a 1" hole for an electrical conduit. 8" thick concrete with a moisture barrier and a 30yd yard flower bed above. The dirt on top was over 4ft in depth to the surface of the slab. We drilled the hole from underneath and once we got through, there was an immediate rush of water almost as intense as breaking a sprinkler head. What we hadn't realized was how much rain water had been settled at the bottom of the dirt bed and was not getting proper drainage. Of course I panic and start racking my brain on how to seal off this pressure that was probably thousands of pounds of water above. We put a 100 gallon tote underneath the hole and I ran to the supply house to get your Leak Stopper after watching this video. By the time I got back the tote was almost completely full. Thankfully the pressure wasn't near as serious and I was able to seal off the opening around the pipe. Worked like a charm and I am confident this will be a permanent fix. You guys make a damn good product. Good job!
Experts - for radon mitigation install , contractor made a hole in concrete wall and filled the gap around the pipe both inside and outside of concrete wall with Alex Plus Latex Caulk Plus Silicone . Is this good or should I get sealing around pipe with a better product?
Well 2 days ago I tried to do this at my basement wall. It failed! There was water coming out of hole in wall. Same consistency you mixed. It dissolved and would not plug the hole!Sakrete hydraulic cement failed me!
Hate to hear that! Potential bond breaker on the wall? Paint, grease, loose debris, etc.? This stuff is generally pretty sure-fire. Give our Tech Team a call at 866-SAKRETE so we can do a bit of troubleshooting!
Once it's cured, no problem! An active leak in the Hoover Dam? Maybe not. What sort of application are you seeing with 500 psi of active hydrostatic pressure?
This video is Badass
That's how we do it, brother!

Man, that is the ultimate endorsement! Glad we could help!
Where does the water go once you plug the leak?
A valid point! Water intrusion means that there's an underlying issue to be fixed...Leak Stopper just buys you some time to do so.

Going to let the Radon experts handle this one...interested in the answer!

@@SakreteOfficial Hello. I bought the yellow bucket hydraulic cement Quickrite? It did good
I have to stop a leak in a concrete well tile joint. Is there any health concern here with potable water?
Hydraulic cement is still just cement - inert once cured!
@@SakreteOfficial thanks brother!
Yessir - that's what we're here for!
I left the big plug in place.
That'll work!
Ridiculous.. put 500 pounds of pressure behind the water....see how that goes
