I'd sealed the hole with calk sealing compound around wire as suggested by my local hardware store from outside & inside before filling the hole (about 3 feet deep in clay soil---tough to dig and not damage underground phone wire).
It has remained dry for 11 years. Now, 11 years later a small leak has developed (only in severe prolonged heavy rain) around the wire, small drip but over time enough to wet the wall and floor.
Our soil is high clay content and likely holds the water for longer retention. Slope is away from our house, and leak subsides with a day if rain stops.
What can I do to seal the hole/wire where it comes into basement and do all this from the basement side?
Not happy I made the decision to bury the wire entry hole so deep (about
3 feet) 11 years ago, but too late now.Morenuf
