@@RescuePlumbing Question - In our basin, we have 3 pipes coming in. 2 are installed high in the basin, the 3rd is only 2" from the bottom. This pipe is fed from our egress/basement door. When it rains, the water fills up in the basin but not enough to trigger the pump, and the egress starts to flood outside the basement door. How can I fix this without having to tear up the basement to raise the pipe?

@@xtiger8025 Installing a zoeller pump in that basin could resolve your problem. Zoeller's float switches come pre installed on the pump. If you do not want to spend the money on a whole zoeller pump just purchase a float switch and attach it to the lowest point possible. They sell pneumatic float switches that are activated by pressure. Try tying it to the bottom that should work.

Great video I'm about ready to have a check valve installed on the outside I'm sure I'll be using the clean check by Rector seal I could not find another manufacturer similar to this that you can expect as easily as you can that clean check is there another one out there just so I can look at it before and make my decision thank you one more thing about the sewer flood control system needing a pump people got realize that during my event is a good possibility that you'll be without power so then you would need a backup generator to be sure the pump is working the system is probably the most foolproof one out there but way too involved thank you for a great video
@RescuePlumbingАй бұрын
Your plumbing supply store will have their own maker of the backwater valves. I have purchased back water valves from different plumbing parts suppliers. I have ended up with valves from manufacturers such as ACME, Oatey, and Sioux Chief. The plumbing suppliers do not really push one brand over another. You are correct for a sewer flood control system its good to have a whole house generator so power does not stop to the pump. But for those who have a flood control with no generator, I will tell you. If you lose power you will know when your lights go out in your house, and you will know not to use your sewer. As long as you don't use your sewer you can not flood yourself. I have not had one customer, (knock on wood,) call me to say they have flooded because their was no power to the pump on a sewer flood control I installed. I have installed hundreds of flood controls. Keep on plumbing!

Hi there, excellent information. I have a question that the video didn't answer. What is the maximum backflow pressure (in terms of psi) can the cleancheck valve handle, and for how long (in terms of hours) can it hold back that pressure?
@RescuePlumbing3 ай бұрын
The Rector Seal Back Water Valve in this video is rated at 75 PSI. As far as hours it would hold that is a good question. I assume at 75 max pressure indefinitely. I have installed several of these in areas where the sewer has backed up and no customer has had a sewer flood yet after installing. You do have to make sure the flapper is good at least once a year or replace it. I Installed a clean check about 4 years ago that the flapper was in really bad condition. They had had several sewer floods but they did'nt flood their basement, Thank God.

The switches on this submersible is garbage. When I had french drain installed around five years ago, they installed two of these pumps in opposite corners of the basement. So far the switches have failed at least 3 to 4 times, and every time, the plumber insists the entire pump must be replaced, (and refuses to repair the switch). None of this has been covered under warrenty, and I am 100% fed up with submersible pumps. I had a pedistal pump that lasted 20 years, with no issues.

This program was originally designed to help alleviate the financial burden homeowners incur when a sewer repair is required in the public way. The purpose of this program is clear. It is to help home owners. Sorry business owner. We feel for you. We have attempted many times to help business owners with this program but they never qualify. There is nowhere in the ordinance that specifically states commercial properties do not qualify but the creation of this program was geared to help a specific group of people, homeowners. The program specifically states who qualifies.

That’s a pretty strong “trickle”. I’ve been told it’s the build up of pressure that bursts pipes, not freezing water expansion. So dripping faucets gives your pipes several different places for pressure to escape.
@RescuePlumbing7 ай бұрын
When water freezes it expands in a sealed air tight water system. That expansion in a sealed system will create the pressure to burst the pipe open. That's why we run water to open the system to avoid that pressure buildup. The trickle looks like much but its the close up that makes it look more than it is. Also, its an air rator faucet that makes the trickle look more than it is.
