MEMBER EMERITUS
Not exactly garage related but... This is my well pressure tank in the basement. The well pump is submerged. The last couple of years I have noticed water where you see the green towel. It is coming out of the plastic conduit for the electrical wires going to the pump under ground. It leaks when it rains of when the snow melts. The leak is not coming from the hole the conduit goes through basement wall, but from INSIDE the conduit. So for some reason water is getting inside the conduit and dripping on the floor where it comes through the wall.
On the other side of the basement wall is a covered porch 6 feet off the ground so no rain or snow against the basement wall there. The well is 10 feet out and 20 feet to the right from this wall as you can see in the last pic (blue cover just past the second set of steps). I assume this conduit runs from the basement to the well casing, 5-6 feet underground. I guess there must be a crack or a hole in this conduit somewhere under ground but why? I have not done anything in the ground where this would be. Its not a fast leak but will soak a towel in a couple days if raining or melting snow. Any suggestions aside from digging up my beautiful gardens and steps/porch?
