I have a question, we've been living in our house for over 5 years now and keep having trouble with our sump pump either burning up or check valves being broken. We was told when we bought the house it needed a sump pump since it has to pump the sewage up hill to the town sewer, which is about 150-200'. Come to find out we didn't realize we were tied into our neighbors line and everything had started backing up into our line then our yard, due to it being to much pressure. So about six months ago we had a plumber come in & run our own line, we were told it had to be a 2" line due to the sump pump wouldn't work correctly otherwise. Also, when running the new line they had to put about 3 90s in it due to our neighbor not letting us have a straight shot through their yard. So now after installing a new line and another new sump pump 6 months later it's bubbling up and looks to be having trouble again. I'm not where I can check it out myself at the moment, so I don't know yet if the check valves had to much pressure on them then busted then caused the pump to run continuesly or what? Hopefully the plumber will be able to check it out as soon as possible.
My question is what could we do that would be better?
We don't have enough yard for a treatment plant and there isn't another alternative to going up hill, we was told a cutter pump would work and wouldn't last.
Your help would be GREATLY appreciated!!
