Installing A Sump Pump In A Basement

In this video we install a sump pump in a basement that has no floor drainage. This is super important to do if you have no drain in your basement incase a pipe ever burst or your hot water tank started leaking, having a sump pump will help you avoid a ruined basement and a huge insurance headache!

Nice video and impressed with your work ethic and balancing your tasks and being a parent. Great job!

[@josephabaddi8226]

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.

[@MrSoulMonk]

Superb. You took great care and did quality work. Impressive work ethics and attention to detail, not to mention being a great parent.

Clean Work... Excellent....

[@roland5599]

how do you see the water getting into the basin exactly?

[@BBQLord.]

Good job man!!

[@justina3221]

Thank you

[@pilbomags488]

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

[@meanjeand1608]

That’s what I was going to say I just finish one and the home owner needed one because she had shit load of ground water!!!

[@DaDaDo661]

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

[@Theggman83]

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

[@kehindeemiabata4032]

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

[@eliash9154]

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.

[@small_525]

@@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...

[@codyandfriends4581]

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

[@codyandfriends4581]

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

[@davelosonczy1537]

No foreign pipes no holes in the basket I don't understand

[@duotronic6451]

1:39 The 3" white cast iron elbow looks in rough shape. Replace that before it fails.

[@Luther_Luffeigh]

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?

[@officialnuera1]

Ya, it’s not a bad idea it definitely wouldn’t hurt.

[@Luther_Luffeigh]

@@officialnuera1 thank you!

[@duotronic6451]

No way for water to enter sump pit?

[@j.jarvis7460]

12:00 whatever kinda bit is that? super cool.

[@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]

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.

[@retireearly7223]

@@gordd7348He said he was worried if a pipe broke there was no where for the water to go since there are no floor drains. A lot of work for an unlikely scenario.

[@jamesp3893]

Do you need to drill holes on the basin?

[@small_525]

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!

[@daguy593]

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]

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

[@johnsn10]

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

[@drive-2786]

why are u talking like u guyana bud :)

[@Dinovece1]

This was a waste of time and money

[@ericwotton2046]

why is that?

[@NoneMechanic101]

Thank you

[@officialnuera1]

No problem!
