Posts: n/a. Definitely, a problem like this must be fixed from the outside (unless your willing to channel the water directly into the sump pump). In fact, all basement leaks s/b preferably fixed on the outside. The problem you described sounds like it occurred when the sewer lines were installed.

Mark the studs with a pencil so you’ll know where not to cut. Use a drywall saw to cut a hole between the studs. Cut the hole starting at a location near the bottom of the wall. Check out the space. Use a flashlight to look into the hole and scan for water damage. If you do find water, follow the water’s trail to find the source of the leak.
If water appears, the leak is coming from the plumbing behind the shower within the wall. A cracked plumbing fitting is the likely cause. Call in a plumber to repair the pipes inside the wall.

Extremely temporary fix; Might not stop leak; No to code; Method #8: Freeze Fix epoxy compound. There are really two ways to use epoxy to fix a leaking copper pipe. You can either use an epoxy putty to plug the hole, or you can use epoxy to create a bandage that’s similar to a cast put on a broken arm.
Allow the solder to cool for 10 minutes. If the leak is at the fitting, solder the joints between the pipe and the fitting. Remove the tape from the top joint, and solder the pipe and the top of the sleeve together. Allow the pipe to cool for 10 minutes. Turn the hot water supply back on and check for leaks.

Tighten compression fittings firmly with two wrenches to crimp the ferrule onto the pipe (Photo 3). Also make sure the pipe or tube goes straight into the fitting. Misalignment will cause a leak. If the fitting leaks after you turn on the water, try tightening the nut an additional one-quarter turn. This usually stops the leak.
Lining your gas pipes with epoxy will help seal the leaks. Once applied, let the epoxy hold and cure for approximately one hour. The reason you are using epoxy to seal the leaks is to avoid replacing the whole system. However, if you can replace the leaking pipe with a new one, do so to avoid future leaks.
Use a rubber sealant to ensure that the water pathway is airtight. It is common to have a broken seal along your pipes which will in turn cause leaks. Usually, when dealing with plastic pipes, you will need to use some rubber sealant on certain connections, but you may not need much if you are using a metal pipe.

If the pipe that protrudes from the wall is copper with a threaded fitting (Photo B), simply cut off the fitting with a tubing cutter ($10) and install a new slip-on spout (Photo A). If the pipe coming out of the wall is steel (Photo C), you need a new screw-on spout. Ideally, the new spout will fit perfectly onto the old pipe.

Seal a leaking frame by running a small bead of tub and caulk around the inside of the frame. Force the caulk into any gaps between the frame and the shower surround. Quickly wipe away all the excess caulk. When the caulk dries, test for leaks again. Replace any worn gaskets or door sweeps.
