Sump Pumps:

Sump pumps are pumps that discharge storm water outside away from the home mostly to the outside lawn or city storm pipe. With plumbing codes changing around the late 70’s, sanitary waste and storm water must now be discharged separately with storm water going to the outside city storm sewer and sanitary waste going directly into the public city sewer. The reason sanitary and storm water gets separated to ensure that the public city sewer does not get over loaded when heavy rains overwhelm the system which can cause homeowners basements to flood causing thousands of dollars of damage. Also it is easier to treat sanitary sewer water then storm water. Storm water has runoff from harsh chemical which makes recycling the water back to drinking stability much more costly. Nowadays homes in subdivisions discharge storm water through a sump pump discharge line that flows directly to the subdivisions storm system and retention ponds. Thats why you’ll usually see a retention pond in newer residential subdivisions. Michigan land has many swamp lands that have now been turned into residential area so the ground water in these ands are very high.

Sump Pump Backup Systems:

Backup sump pumps kick on in case of a power outage or if the primary electrical sump pump malfunctions. Some of the best ways to protect against flooding when the primary pump doesn’t work due to electrical or malfunction, is to install a water based backup sump pump system. The system works by using city water pressure to turn on the mechanism inside the backup pump and to reverse the suction so to allow discharge the water inside the sump pump pit.

When you you do not have city water supply and use a well pump water water supply, a battery based sump pump backup system is then recommended. Watchdog sump backups or some of the most common.

Sump Pump Discharge Drain Lines:

Sumps pump discharge drain lines usually go to an underground pipe and take away the water to an outside popup drain or to the city storm system. The drain pipe usually consist of schedule 30 thin wall PVC pipe which over time become restricted with mineral deposits and calcium building known as Silt. Most area that have sump pumps have tables of ground water with some houses being built in what use to be swamp land. So the discharge drain lines is of utmost important to get away the stormwater as far away from the property as can be.
