Love guys like you. A real professional who is willing to share his experience and knowledge all in the name of helping others. Your calm, matter-of-fact delivery is absolutely perfect. Great video. Thank you.

[@Rocket120472]

I always never comment on these videos but your video was absolutely perfectly explained from beginning to end. I'm a contractor by trade but never installed a sump pump before and after watching your video I feel comfortable enough to attack the project without any hesitation. Thank you very much for your help. Blessings brother🙏🙏

[@RedbrushDan]

Thanks Chuck. You're a great instructor!

[@saljudeh]

what a great guy...I dont need a Sump Pump. but I could not help watching this Great Vid. thanks for posting

[@BarryHarrellYouTube]

I used this and a French drain and it all works great! Thank you so much again.

[@jajaadjani]

You would make a great teacher.perfect step by step video y watched over 20 videos and yours is the only one that showed and explained everything perfectly.

[@angelo_bmore]

This is a great DIY video it helped me save $400 by buying a new sump pump from a local supplier and going to my local Lowe’s and getting a new Check Valve for $13. I would recommend watching the video two or three times to get the steps down packed

[@somebodygoingtohell5483]

Thank you so much for inspiring me, the choice to give people the knowledge is very nice and unselfish of you God bless!

[@5ive9inefx]

Watching your videos and how you explain the process makes it look easy. I believe I could do it. Thanks!

[@anyyoyo]

Great Video's Chuck. Bought my M53 and zoeller check-valve. Installed them using your instructions. Thank you very much for your excellent video posts.

[@pabloavila3176]

This was a great video. Not only was it actually helpful, but your message at the end really helped and persuaded me to try this myself. Great motivation, thank you Chuck!

[@Craftybeertastebuds]

Your videos give me confidence on doing my own sump pump. Awesome information , thanks for the videos brotha

[@veronicathebeautiful]

Hey Chuck! I MUST, MUST #THANKYOU A MILLION TIMES... FOR THIS VIDEO. I watched this video many times, to get your directions correctly. I purchase my sump pump at HARBOR FREIGHT TOOLS where I work (I'm a girl/female), then I INSTALL IT, I DID IT MYSELF. #NotkiddingYou... IT WORKS!!! I DID IT RIGHT. My basement flooded in Oct 03, 2016. I had to remove the carpet myself IMMEDIATELY... knowing it must had been flooded for 3 days (I was out of town) when I return and I found out, by coincidence. I usually don't go to the basement. IS A NEW BUILT HOME, BUT IT SEEMS THE SELLER DIDN'T INSTALLED A SUMP PUMP, THE PIT WAS EMPTY! That's how it got flooded. Well, just last "MONDAY" I installed the sump pump myself... and IS RAINING HEAVILY HERE IN VIRGINIA (Quantico MCB area). And I can hear the pump working and I can see the water gouging OUT, of the back of the house. TRULY... YOUR ADVICE AND VIDEO.... TOTALLY HELPED ME DO IT AND SAVE ABOUT $500 BUCKS. #THANKS

[@ericmuller3339]

So you waited years to install pump after you found out you didn't have one?

[@stupoirier9112]

Thanks very much for the instruction. Really appreciate how positive you are about such a messy business.

[@sarahkurian2783]

Thank you!!! Excellent video. Gave me the confidence to change the pump by myself :-)

[@gary98732]

Can’t help but watch the whole video even when I know what I am doing. You have a natural charisma about you and easy to watch videos. Very friendly and enjoyable.

[@kodak_jack]

The big plug you sawed off at the beginning is not a discharge hole, but the inlet that lets water come into the crock/ pit. Great video.

[@BarryHarrellYouTube]

Thanks for the great video - very easy to follow.

[@direct998]

You make it sound easy. Forgetting that it takes a lot of work to put all the supporting pieces in place. Nevermind the digging and cement work. This is more like an infomercial.

[@neocollective]

Great video...open a plumbing school, you are a great teacher !!

[@ipeeinpools9522]

Well done sir. One suggestion I have is a step I use and I highly recommend. Place a concrete slab, brick, block under the pump.

[@shanefrank3281]

Why do you do that?

[@OLd_One-eyeguy]

@@shanefrank3281 so if for some reason the inlets allowing water into the basin get clogged, the whole basin doesn't float. Also debris collects at the bottom of the basin, if you have a brick under the pump its less likely to ingest trash.

[@23220jackson]

That seems like it would raise the bottom of the pump and allow more water to accumulate before pump in activated.

[@LittleDrummerChannel]

Great video...thanks friend!!

[@Robertz37]

You forgot to mention the 3/16 weep hole drilled level with the top of the pump on the discharge pipe.other then that.. great video.

[@71sed8edmc19]

Newbie question why?

[@Robertz37]

@@71sed8edmc19 when the pump stops it allows the water to drain out from the check valve to the hole drilled so when the pump starts again it doesn’t have so much pressure to work against to get the water going again.(So I was told from a master plumber)

[@ryansigler6731]

@@Robertz37 the pump he is using appears to have one already built into the pump housing I'm not that familiar with the particular model to know for sure but if that is the case there is no need for the hole in the pipe

[@lrtlar18]

Actually weep hole should be drilled right above the threads on check valve right at bottom of discharge to prevent vapor locking….. u want discharge pipe to live with water in it….. I’m a basement waterproofer for past 10yrs

[@F479999999999]

@@lrtlar18please help me understand you better. On the discharge pipe itself below the level of the check valve drill a 3/16 hole? My check valve is 4’ up in height. Should re plumb it to be just a few inches above the pit like this gentleman did? Thank you

[@papabear4066]

So useful! The only addition I have is a coupling on the top to connect elbow to the discharge pipe. This coupling has come off twice due to high pressure.

great video, my only question is what if you are installing the sump pump on the exterior of the house against the foundation and your trench is roughly 5'-0" deep what would you recommend as a sump pump liner/basin? ...thanks

[@robgionjr8877]

I've watched several of your videos and echo what many have said: you are a gift to so many and are highly appreciated. You do a wonderful job and are helping so many people. I have a couple of questions that I'm hoping you can help with: 1) I live in MO and we get some cold temperatures and freezing in the winter. Is there any concern in installing the sump pump and related 2" piping outside with freezing in the winter? Do you need to worry about the pipes cracking? Will the pump and system work when frozen water first starts to thaw? 2) Is there any concern or might it be an advantage to run the 2" discharge into an existing 4" drain pipe already running to the street or is it better to simply run the 2" all the way to the street? Thank you again!

[@richiespeed3565]

Excellent explanation take care

[@odiberzbn]

Great job thank you very much

[@jbossnack]

Chuck, this Zoeller 53 pump looks a lot better to me for one big reason. The float switch is directly wired into the pump which makes it a heck of a lot easier for me to wire with a standard 12-2 line running out to the pump. I want to cut the plug off and direct wire this in to my line so I can water proof everything and hide the cables in a box. With most pumps I find a float switch having it's own wire and this complicates things. It's not impossible to wire it's just more complicated dealing with two lines. I prefer this pump because it's just got one electrical line to deal with. To me this is worth the extra money because it makes the installation so much easier. BTW this is for an outside underground sump application, not in my basement and that is why I want to direct wire in the pump.

[@MrGguardado]

awesome video.

[@Ducktruckful]

Do you drill vent hole in main discharge pipe just below lid? to help with air lock?
