Installation of New Sump Pump Discharge Line in Washington Twp., Michigan

We are in Washington Township, Michigan installing a new sump pump discharge line.
We laid plywood all the way to the back so that it spreads the weight of our machine and we don't damage the turf. We also have plywood down to put the dirt on top of it makes clean up so much easier and you can do a really, really clean job.
I know a lot of the plumbing excavation crews just come in with a backhoe and dig the trench and then pile up the dirt and tell the homeowner, leave it like that for six months and let it settle and then have a landscaper come and sod it or seed it for you. We take a sod cutter and we cut the side off and then we lay it in order. It goes together like a puzzle. So we give the client a fit and finish the look.
Right now the frost laws are on and we can't haul the stone and the clay that you see in our French drains. So we've been just strictly on discharge lines. We're basically running on empty, we were just taking the PVC pipe still. Once they left the frost laws, I'll have more on the yard drains for you.
The reason why this failed is it was a two-inch line to daylight and they went over the sewer line. They have a septic field here and there's the septic tank. The septic field is right there.
They ran over the top of that four-inch pipe with a two-inch. Well, that's not even in code here in Michigan. You have to be three-inch and they're starting to spec a lot of new builds in four-inch. Now, my whole career I've been running for, because of the bigger the diameter, the stronger the pipe. [...]

Do you have a video of recommendation is the sumo pump exit the house below grade and there is no enough elevation to put a back flow prevention
Sorry for the poor quality of video but I believe this is what you need
@@FRENCHDRAINMAN I watched this one but what do you do if the discharge pipe exits the house lower than ground level?
Why did you use schedule 40 instead of the yellow pipe? One of your other videos you used soild yellow and knife cut at the end to avoid freeze thaw.
In this twp it was code. Inspector insisted.
What does a job like this cost? Also, im in a suburb and need my discharge pipe replaced. Its blocked and a company came out and couldn't get the snake more than 10 feet. They tried putting down a camera to see what was going on but the pipe being used was so small, they couldn't get the camera deep enough. I was actually considering doing it myself because they want 2500 to lay 10 feet of pipe.
Every company has a minimum and $2500 is pretty average for a minimum. You still have to bring the same equipment for 10ft as you would for 200 ft. Our minimum verys on drive time.
So what happens when the amount of water being discharged fills up the crock, will it overflow above it?
We had a over flow pipe that ran into the woods.
HELP
I have a small townhouse and I don’t really have any big area in front of my house to make a trench for the sump pump. So it basically just goes in my small yard about 10 feet from my house. What should I do? I want it further away from house but don’t know my options. Thanks in advance.

Did you backfill with any gravel or just put the dirt around the PVC?
Don't recommend any stones near the PVC. Only dirt and it should be stone free. Also make sure before laying the pipe that there are no stones right where the pipe is going to sit, also check the pipe for any damage or cracks. :)
Hi, I’m in Troy. Need something similar done.
Call 248-505-3065
What is a frost law? Can you explain what it is and how if affects what you do?
micountyroads.org/business/seasonal-weight-restrictions/
what does something like this cost to get done?
i was quoted 5000, so i said fuck that and took me 2 hours to dig 60ft stretch and like 200 dollars for material. if you have a few weekends free its an easy job.
During the winter will the freeze on the pipeline?
The water discharged is warm; it comes from a heated basement.
Why not use solid corrugated pipe for the sump pump discharge line? Seems like it might not get torn up so quickly or easily by freezing
I’m not an expert by any means, but my guess is since he’s not allowed to haul stone right now, and due to the presence of the trees, the PVC with cemented joints are being used to prevent root intrusion.
It was code.
i commented on your other dry well also... hoping you'll see this asap and reply back to me.
So... what do you do if you have poor soil percolation and your dry well doesn't drain well or fast enough.
i live in Ontario Canada and we have 3.5 - 4 foot deep frost line. So i buried my 1.5 inch sump line 4 feet deep inside a 4" pvc pipe just incase i ever have to repair it, i can just pull the 1.5 inch line out instead of excavating it all up again. I did not put any sort of check valve on the end of my 1.5 inch sump line because I know they often fail over time.
i ran it 40 feet away from my house into a HUGE dry well i dug 9 feet deep by 6 feet by 6 feet. than back filled it with 5 feet of round rock completely surrounded by commercial grade fabric and then 4 feet of soil on top of the stone to grade.
my house and dry well are both on a hill and my yard drops down pretty significantly right next to where I put the dry well... so there should be lots of places for the water to seep out of my dry well... yet after only 1 rain fall my huge dry well appears to be full and water is actually traveling back up my 4 inch pipe and back out the top.
What did I do wrong?
do i need to vent of some sort or something? maybe at the discharge end out the dry well or the 4" pvc pipe? I cannot figure out why water is coming all the back up that 40 foot 4 inch pipe all the way to my house and out the top...
Could my huge deep dry well really have filled up that quickly after one rain storm?
I'm basically about ready to dig it back up to see what is going on... but i thought I'd try to find answers on RUclips 1st and found you...
any advice you can offer me would be amazing!!!!!
Leach Field I have many videos on Leach Fields
@@FRENCHDRAINMAN thanks for the speedy reply.
i did see videos about leah fields... i was watching you until 4am last night... guess i'll be doing the same today with your leach field videos. Haha
how deep did you place the pvc?
Looks like its 2 feet near the downspout, the remaining trench depth depends upon the slope you are trying to create :)
Hey friend I'm building a house and I'm asking people and no one can give me a really good answer why i need a sump pump why not take that drain field pipe into the drain crock that you are creating why have a weak point in the house like that
