- Come along and learn how we install a sump pump pit and new sump pump. We show you how we decide where to put the basin, how we break up the concrete floor, dig the hole, prepare the pit, and install the pump.
We'll soon follow this video up with an additional video showing more about the specifics of the actual pump itself and how to do that.

It was too quick/ too short to really see, but it almost looked like that siding is asbestos; and to drill a hole in it will release asbestos fibers !!!
Nice work I love it
great video!!!
Reminds me of the escape tunnel in the "Great Escape" 😃
Mine was installed like you did here, without a blanket wrap to keep sand out. And then it failed, inside 6 years. Filled the pit, pump, and drain pipes solid with sand. And this caused a minor bowed wall to become a major concern, then needing a very very expensive 7 wall anchor system along with a complete breakup of that pit for a new reinstall - with that blanket.
So you are not adding any drain tiles under the floor, just the perforated basin? Obviously much quicker and less expensive. Looks great
The existing drain looks like a low maintenance way to get rid of water from around the home foundation. What maintenance is needed to keep the new sump pump system working as well?
If you have a basement where the water table can sometimes be above the floor, would one necessarily need a sump pump basin as long as the walls and floor were fully sealed? I have a rental property that I inherited from my dad that has had flooding problems. It currently has two sump pumps. One on each end of the house. The second one was only recently added. Not sure how long the first one was there. As far as I know, it doesn't have drain tiles. I'm wondering if I was able to seal the concrete block walls if I would even need the sump pumps. The main entry way of water into the basement at this point is through the sump pump basins. The house is on sandy soil, but, in a low-lying area.
Great vid, How deep is this sump bin? And what make is it? I’m having trouble finding one like this
Is that jus a black plastic dustbin you used for the pit chamber?
How high do you drill the holes in the sump basin at timestamp
Why did you write "sump pump only" on the outlet? Does the pump draw a lot of power?
How many holes do you put in the basin thanks
dont you have to use a mesh around the bucket so debris wont get inside?
How do i find the best spot to put a sump pump or does it not matter
how much does it cost to charge up the transit ? $?
Sir, What are the steps to become a licenced plumber ? How you get your licence in it , can you please elaborate it ???😊
How many hp is the sump pump?
I noticed you did not install any interior French drain system. You simply installed a pit. Why would some contractors dig the entire perimeter for a French drain to the pit? Are you saying as long as the home has foundation drain tile and you install the pit close to that water will drain there?
You are lucky you have a public dump you can use to dispose of the debris.
