Water leak through basement wall

When it rains heavily (ground water I'm assuming) travels underneath the main water pipe into our house and cascades down into the void of our concrete block wall and then flows through the block on to the basement floor. The pipe enters the house about eight feet below the ground. There is a void all around the pipe, so big I can reach my hand into it. Is there any acceptable way to fix this from the inside? The rest of the basement is finished and dry. This has only happened once before, two years ago after prolonged heavy rains, but this year it has happened twice since it has been a rainy May. When it happened two years ago we regraded, redid our front steps and thought we fixed it. Any help or advice is appreciated.
