Hello,
I have just discovered that my basement floor has a 3-foot long crack in it. This crack has begun to seep water through it slowly. The crack "starts" from a PVC pipe that is in a vertical direction which is used as my washing machine's drain. On the other side of the crack (but not directly where the crack ends), there is a drain that goes under my basement floor.
Is it possible that there is a pipe underneath my basement floor that connects the drain to this PVC pipe that may have burst? If there is a pipe and it has burst, would applying that basement floor/wall crack patch stuff (and then sealant) fix the problem? Or, should I use a jackhammer to get to that pipe and replace the pipe and then re- apply concrete to the area? Any other suggestions?
I can send pictures to anyone who wants to see the damage.
Your help is appreciated!
Thanks, Kevin
