    I drilled a few tiny holes in bottom of basin and put pump on top of 2 bricks so no sediment would get into pump. I also installed a GFI outlet for pump for safety reasons. Good video for a do it yourselfer very informative.

    Thank you for the detailed video. What if the basement was 80% completed/furnished with no drainage pipes in place, would you need to dig path around foundation wall to install pipes in order for the sump pump to be effective?

  • @kehindeemiabata4032

    There's no inlet pipe or holes in the bucket. Where's the water coming from in order to suck it out?

    • @eliash9154
      @eliash9154 Год назад +1

      That's if the basement floods the inlet is where those wires are coming out from. Water will flow into the bucket because the bucket should be below the floor level or pitched in that area enough for water to flow into it. Then it gets pumped out.

      @@eliash9154 You need to put holes in the bucket. That way long before the basement floods it will be pumping out the water. Your basement shouldn't ever get water in it...

    To anyone installing, you will want some drainage gravel under the sump bucket too

  • @pilbomags488
    @pilbomags488 Год назад +7

    What purpose is this for? you have no ground water and the lid will prevent any burst pipe water from entering the pit easily, and you have no weeping tiles leading into the pit. Just seems unnecessary. Good install though.

    • @justinirby1762

      The lid to a sump pump is not water tight. Also Under heavy rain the sump pump will fill. And with no floor drains it will put tremendous pressure on the foundation

      Just because there's no ground water now, doesn't mean there won't be when it rains

      Some homes just don't drain excess water from around the foundation like newer homes do... Mine only runs in the spring time.

  • @codyandfriends4581

    Drainage gravel around sump basin with stones larger than the holes you drill in sump bucket

  • @Rechkalov7

    How does the water gets into the bucket cause usually i see a big pipe on the side of the bucket that is under the floor level and wih your installation i dont see it.

    • @gordd7348
      @gordd7348 Год назад +2

      I agree. I don't see the reason for the sump pump since it is not being used to drain ground water from the foundation.

    AAAAAAHHHHHHH...REALLY! Just wondering HOW........ANY water is supposed to get into the crock. A crock with no side holes or ANY DRAIN TILE put into the crock basin. I like your ambition. You can still cut a slot wider than your drain tile. Cover that with STONE just below your slab and fill the rest with concrete...............From a guy with 37 years in the construction trade.

      @officialnuera1  6 месяцев назад +1

      in the beginning of the video i stated i was installing the sum pump because the basement does not have any floor drains.so the pump is only for emergency like in case a pipe bust the basement doesnt turn into a swimming pool. hope that answer your question

    Do you need to drill holes on the basin?

    • @small_525
      @small_525 Год назад +6

      I wasn't sure if I missed that part or not, but not having holes how is the ground water going to fill the basin!

    You didn’t drill any holes in it or fill around the pit with crushed stone. It’s useless
