I like this guy's vid's.. He seems down to earth and real. He shows you in detail how the REAL world does it and doesn't try to sell you stuff like other channels.
Hey chuck!
Thanks for all your videos and help! I'm doing a workshop rebuild and there is ground water underneath in the dirt floor. Your videos really helped. Going to hook my homeowner up with a sweet system based on your advice. Love ya bro!
"Ben put the sump pump over in that corner." LOL. My sympathies to Ben. I have a similar problem where apparently the homeowner disconnected the sump pump and now the foundation is dropping. I'm just too old now to do this work, and will get a plumber for the sump pump.
I have found an easy way to keep a lot of mud out of the pit and keep your pump clean is to take fabric (not metal, it rusts out) window screen and wrap it around the pit tying it off with zip ties. The water still flows through but it filters enough to keep the pump running. Place the pit on top of the screen and bring the screen up around the sides to get a complete seal. Fun stuff!
M Bechina so the mud can suck up to the screen and clog it shut?
hey just want to say thanks for the info you explain everything doing my crawl space in mi thanks again
Tough job nice work!! did the guy on the right come straight from the night club to the job site??? LOL

Hello. Does this box prevents the pump from the mud? I have a pump that is in direct contact with the soil, thus it is always jamming, dye to the mud in the water. What shoud i do? Thanks
Does this protects the pump from failing or jaming due to the mud? Thanks
I have a crawlspace basement where the former owners dug out an area about 15' long by 3.5' wide. They put a cinderblock retaining wall all the way around, stacked about 4 or 5 cinderblocks high on all sides and about 3.5' feet deep. This is also about 4' below the ground level outside. At the lower end, there is a dirt sump pit (they literally didn't install a sump pit the proper way and it is a dirt hole about 18" inches deep and about 3' x 3') and sump pump. At the upper end, they put the water heater (previously in the kitchen for some odd reason) in the hole and the central heat/air is elevated a foot off from the dirt in between the water heater and the sump.
When it rains, water rushes in from all sides - through cracks in the retaining wall and also through some of the cinderblocks that they turned sideways at the base of the wall to allow water through on purpose. The problem is, it is that way all the way around. For some dumb reason, they turned the base cinderblocks to allow water in on the side where they put the water heater.
Without tearing it apart and building a new wall or basement, is there anything I can do about this to get the water to go straight to the sump pit? I have pondered patching all of the cracks that have developed in the retaining wall and trying to run a pipe from each cinderblock hole (sealing the pipe into the cinderblock somehow so that water can't get through anything but the pipe) at the base of the wall directly to the sump pit.
Any ideas?
+jmr1068204 what I have done and doing again is to outside and just dig out the outside wall and really get to the footer..then make a line out somewhere, or even install an outside sump..if its deep enough it wont freeze. powerwash the wall, spray or brush rubber paint on..i used advance coatings..and the do what the apple drain guys do..the prob is really outside first.. then do the inside later
I should have probably mentioned that there is no footer/foundation under the ground. This is a raised rubblestone foundation that literally sits on top of the dirt (house built in 1950). So digging down around the house will just find nothing but dirt. Because of that, whether I put a drain around the top of the ground surface or dig down feet and put one there...water will either go under/over it and still go in. There are literally "holes" in the dirt inside of the crawlspace dirt behind that wall (which are about 2-4 feet under ground) that the water has apparently found paths through over time.
when are your live broadcasts?
Muddy mess, I don’t BELIEVE I could or would do that job in that much mud (:-D). Boots?
lol, nice home owner job, but not how I'd do it. They have basins that are designed for this kind of application, and you should of drilled an anti siphon hole between the pump and the check valve....
New construction, and the moisture is already attacking the sub floor before the owners move in. This looks bad for the builder.
How does the water get in the basement?
DrMario Pepper In my case it’s coming from the ground. My yard floods bad when we have heavy rains for a few days in a row. The ground is so saturated that all that water seeps and drains in.
hopefully they didn't send a whole lot cheap work and cheap solution that seems like its gonna clog first time it rains
your sentence makes no sense at all . wtf are you trying to say
"Hopefully they didn't spend a whole lot, cheap work and cheap solution that seems like it's going to clog the first time it rains."
amazing how much plastic you threw into the environment.
About the same as you throw away from a few trips to McDonalds!
