Pit2 I'm sure I was making more of it than I should but we're not all experienced plumbers... though I do know enough about it to have passed at least oneinspection. However, when I hit moving sand I was more concerned with that than I was clear enough to see that I could lift the basin a bit...

The water is flowing... I’m on an aquifer and it’s a sandy soil… dirt, clay then sand… that began eroding back under the clay since the water is moving. I filled the voids with concrete from the floor removal and that seems to have stopped the erosion. I think I know what to do to get...

Lower? I was thinking of a shallow pit... like 24"... to stay above the water table and just catch any floor water that may filter in. If I put it lower and flush wouldn't it constantly receive water from the table and never stop running? If I set the float higher I still have a pit of wet and...

A river runs under here also... This one will be in a room also so looks don't count. Can I add a p-trap with a backflow to use my effluent pit as a basement sump also or would you recommend a seperate pit for that... I have had nothing but water problems here because of a high table, all the...

Hi... I purchased a Little Giant Sewage Ejector Simplex Package... and that was the easy part. I'm trying to add a full bath in a basement that is about 4' below grade but when I dug the hole for the container... about 27" down... I hit water. Now I have about 8" of water in the hole and it's...

Great... what's the proper transition piece to connect a PVC riser and cleanout to the older cast pipe?

I have a 4" cast sewer line and want to add a cleanout & backflow just outside where the line exits the house... about 3' underground. Can I remove a section and use PVC and, if so, what is the proper connector for the transition... a stainless steel clamp? I could never understand why a...
