Please SUBSCRIBE to my KZbin channel! In this video I describe sump pits and sump pumps in all their glorious detail. I'm a home inspector, and I've inspected thousands of sump pits and sump pumps. I share all I've learned in 15 years in a short period of time. As a bonus I share a story, a not to be forgotten story, about one sump pump that I inspected.
Here's a list of what you'll learn in this video:
• What is a sump pit
• What homes have sump pits and why
• What is a sump pump
• How water gets into a sump pit
• When is a sump pump needed
• How sump pumps are turned on/off
• Where sump pumps SHOULD discharge water
• How often sump pumps run
• How to test a sump pump
• When a sump pump fails
• Sump pits and radon
• My icky sump pit story
Please leave any feedback you have in the comments section when you're done watching. I read them all. They're very helpful.
