>basement wall starts leaking around a half-assed caulk job that was supposed to seal an old drain/water supply/gas line, not sure what it was
>no big deal, remove wad of caulking around pipe, seal with hydraulic cement
>water says fuck you, begins to travel to rest of wall, new patches force water to next brick, etc
>flush toilet and water sprays out of a hole I had yet to patch
>fuck, broken drain line behind house has to be problem
>have no money for professional fix atm

What's the best way I can either stop the leak (not likely, it's obviously just going to keep traveling the wall), or captchure the water so my basement doesn't smell like shit?

I'm going to get the drain fixed asap, but what's the best way to manage this leak in the mean time?

I can't get a picture my phone takes pics with huge file sizes apparently.

easy: dont flush, dont bathe. use the kitchen sink to piss and wash up. shit in a bucket with a garbage bag in it.

Water is going to seep through regardless, I live in michigan and it's almost spring.

I also don't live here either, I just stay during the weekends when I have time to fix the place up. Literally all I have is a toilet and a utility sink in the basement that never gets used.
