A customer has, on rare occasions, water trickle into his main panel via the conduit that feeds the panel. The RMC leaves the meter and runs down the wall and just as it begins to turn a 90, it goes underground. I didn't have time to dig around the pipe (I was there for other tasks), but I assume that there must be a small hole rotted through the pipe, underground, allowing some water in when they experience heavy rains. We'd like to just do a temp fix for now (The RMC enters the back of the panel at the very bottom so water will not come in contact with the buss or breakers) and replace the RMC in the near future, but how? I was thinking about squeezing a tube of RTV at the hole's location and then wrap the pipe with some sort of wrap. I thought there was a metal fiber like wrap that would turn to a steel like material once it cures, I don't know. Any suggestions?
