I don't know why I am so lucky
This trash can located in a basement has been in use for a long time the kitchen sink drain from above and the washing machine from the basement is discharging into this fancy sump pump pit the pump then discharges into the main above the grade of the basement Now I have to decide what I want to write about this mess??????

Are they using a sump pump or a gray water pump? Not that it matters!
It just makes no sense for the kitchen sink to not be connected properly. Now for the washer, it could have been drained in to a laundry tub with a gray water pump connected to it. By the way, can I use these photo's in presentations? Jason Sieg, CMI Davison, MI NACHI05091399 Knowing the current condition, to make a wise decision.

They were using a standard submergable sump pump and had cut the original sink drain line and installed the discharge of the pump back to this line. The basement originally had a floor drain and a stand pipe for the washer but apparently the floor drain line had become stopped up or collapsed no longer in use </IMG> Freedom Express Inspections LLC CMOR Thermography Certified Level 11 #2097 freedomexpressinspections.com freedomexpress495@att.net NACHI Member Okla.

Charley,
"Sump pump I get all of the good ones" . . . maybe you should pass some around . . . and I don't even want to think about the Baby Ruths |
