Sump pump line blew while I was standing over it watching the water go down.
So I got soaked along with half the things in the laundry room. So that's a fun project for this afternoon. |

So that's a fun project for this afternoon. Welcome to home ownership. Also, is a sump pump for a house the same as for a fish tank? Is this a thing basements have? I don’t remember one in my last house with a basement, but I was also 5 or something. |

I don't remember one in my last house with a basement, but I was also 5 or something. Without our basement, we'd have a 1075sqft house. With the basement, it's double, just "unfinished" so it's not part of the assessed value. And it will never be finished. |

Basements are also good places to put water pipes, they don't freeze in the winter. Also a good place to put the hot water tank, house boiler, and the washer and dryer. Not a bad place for a utility sink, which I should think about. An unfinished basement in a ranch house makes it super duper easy to do plumbing and electrical work, too. Everything is exposed and as long as you don't fill up the basement with thousands of dollars of Commodore computers, it's easy to get to.

Quote HistoryQuoted: What is a sump pump and how does it work Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Sump pump line blew while I was standing over it watching the water go down. So I got soaked along with half the things in the laundry room. So that's a fun project for this afternoon. What is a sump pump and how does it work It is a way to drain water thats in the ground around the foundation of your house. Soil thats saturated with water around your house can either push water up through your concrete floor or in extreme cases actually bow basement walls that your house sits on inward. In the house I grew up in....there was not a sump pump or anything. It had drainage tile and crushed rock around the foundation of the house, then it was tiled to drain down over a hill. The house I live in now (in town) has a six inch perforated plastic tile around the foundation that empties into a small pit in my basement. Its maybe two feet wide and two feet deep. Inside the pit is a submersible pump thats hooked up to a pipe that goes outside. Water runs in the tile around the house, into the pit, then when its high enough a float on the pump trips and water is pumped out to my side yard that slopes away from the house. Its a pretty good system actually. |

I remember hearing about a smart thingy that would sense a huge or certain change of water flow through your plumbing. It would then actuate a shut off valve…for those out of town catastrophes.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Standard in damn near every house with a poured basement that I've ever seen. I dont remember seeing but a few when I lived in IL. I knew a couple people that lived in old houses that basically cut a hole in their basement floor, dug a deep~ish french drain and installed a sump pump on top of the gravel. I see when we're out walking the dog that lots of people have sump pumps in this town, and our realtor told us lots of houses here have wet basement problems. Im guessing they'd figured that out by the time they built this house in the 80's and thats why its a split level with only a half depth basement. |

Or the former home owners made their own reducer out of two pieces of rubber reducing hose that were clamped together with no support so it blew apart. Like.....two overlapping pieces of rubber hose and a hose clamp around it. No support on the inner hose. WTF. |
