I have a 6" sewer line that goes through my basement wall. It just started leaking around the pipe when it rains. Will the epoxy work?

My use was for around a 4" PVC pipe that the 1" water main runs through, This did the job for me I removed all the loose patches other tried, then applied the epoxy over the area placing the ports for injecting in places where I was sure the injected material would flow. after the injected material dried 72 hours to be sure I knocked off the ports and applied at top coat of the epoxy- several rains falls and dry as it should be- one rains fall was 4 inches in a 24 hours period and not a drop from my patch.

I used it on the fiberglass roof of horse trailer. Stopped the leaks no problem

J-B Weld did not work for me when there was any liquid present. I believe that whatever you're repairing needs to be clean and dry while the epoxy sets.

It's definitely worth a shot. As long as the leak isn't too big, it should get the job done. You definitely won't find a cheaper fix.

If you prepare the surface so that the epoxy (pc11 ) has a good hold of the surface where you are spreading it, it will work. Bear in mind that the Epoxy works if you do spread it where the leak is (outside hull, if done on the inside it will not work). You might try it with a reinforcement of wire mesh for strength inside , but I have never tried on the inside of a boat bilge

I used mighty putty to bond plastic to plastic and plastic to metal to stop the leak that the plumber left for me. It is still holding and no longer leaking. I never used it on fabric or silicone

I think it will work just fine. Don't need a patch first. It will flow level cover the problem fully don't be stingy. It only is good for a year and will harden in the tube. Great stuff.

I'm not sure if this will help. I bought a tube from Home Depot and put the tube in my return line, poured the Fix A Leak down the tube, blew through the tube to make sure the Fix A Leak transferred pretty far in my return line and turned off my filter for 3 days. It helped a little bit but after time the leak returned.

It may but then it won't grip very tight.When blocking water in a drain if there is no air relief like a vent stack pipe then the hydrology pressure could be incredible, depending on the amount of water that's backing up down the line of the drain/sewer pipe.

Yeah, I would think it should work pretty good for that. You might need to pour water in it at the same time to help break it loose. My sewer line was clogged with egg shells about 20' down. I had to give it a good push but it broke through and haven't had a problem since. A gutter clog should be similar. That's a great idea. I'll have to remember that one!Edit: I just reread your question. Dirt underground...it might work depending on how much dirt is down there. It has an auger type bit on it so I would think it's definitely worth a shot. Just run lots of water down at the same time. Good luck! Yeah, I would think it should work pretty good for that.

If it works like the Rectorseal 2 in. x 4 ft. Pipe Repair Kit (expoxy tape activated in water), then my guess is that it may not because the tape works best when it is wrapped on itself for superior adhesion (sticks on itself far beter).

Doesn't matter. Product doesn't work. If you could seal it from leaking around the sides, you remain limited to the water pressure of your house. You get the same with a water hose with something wrapped around to make a seal in your pipe. Don't waste your money. Or pay postage and 5 bucks I'll send you mine. Only used once

I used it on PVC pipes outside in termperatures above freezing and it didnt stop the leak as the said it did on the "Shark Tank" pitch.

I used the DIY product on a cement foundation not a cinder block wall. However I would think it would work. I've had great results. during a heavy rain storm I would fill my 10 gallon shop vac 4 or 5 times, Now no leak!

I sealed the basement wall crack in shoreline area in Connecticut in January - outside temp was in 30 and in basement temp was in upper 50. It works fine.the polymer actually foamed up ad dry within couple hours. It seem works well.

I would say yes. I was very pleased with how the epoxy hardened. I put a little too much on the side wall during my repair, so the epoxy drooped a little before hardening, but it really fixed the hole. Should do fine arond the drain. Much cheaper than a $200.00 plumber visit! :)

Yes. It is pretty thick and the adhesive is extremely strong. I used it on some furnace leaks and it worked like a charm.
