Hello and thank you for any tips you may have!
Basement Systems just installed an interior perimeter drain and sump pump. They installed the discharge line immediately underneath our bed’s headboard, under the bedroom window. The noise of the sump and the water rushing through the pipes we can get used to, but the way the water glugs through the outdoor pipe is waking us up each time it happens, which after a recent rain is about every 15 minutes.
The glugging lasts for upwards of a minute, and seems like it’s coming from inside the vertical pipe before it turns and heads into the yard to the outlet. Is there anything besides completely changing the interior lines and re-drilling through the foundation to move the entire drainage system that can be done to minimize this noise?
Here’s a photo, and if links are allowed, this is the sound in question: https://imgur.io/a/V8rBRyv
