Design
It is a good practice to have minimal number of penetrations in order to minimize the in-homogeneity of the structure. Waterplug has to be installed to prevent water leaking through pipe penetrations (Figure 1). This is specially important for cases whereby the pipe penetrates through the basement perimeter wall.
Proper design details of water proofing membrane at pipe penetration should be provided as in the Figure 2 [1-2].
