Hello, I hope some one can help me, I live in Michigan. I purchased this home
1 year ago, here is a list of things that I have trouble shot.
1. Replaced 1 1/2 inch pvc pipe from pump to the out side.
2. Installed a new Check valve.
3. Inspected outside pipe, it connects to a 4 inch pvc and runs 50 ft away
from house to its own drain underground drain field. It is not frozen and
is working properly.
4. I had the water Dept check if there was leak from the main to my house,
no leak.
5. Cleaned and inspected pump.
6. I have inspected the grade away from the house and it is fine.
My sump well is made of corrigated black plastic, I have two 4 inch tiles coming through the side of the well. My pit is only 18 inches deep. The tile
comes in only 3 inches from the bottom.
Should my pit be deeper?
Can I make it deeper, and would this help?
My pump sits in some bricks and the suction intake is not below the tile's.
Pump turns on every other minute, and at the best every 5 in the summer.
Any Suggestions?
