you are dumping the water right beside the house lol. and it is also flooding that walkway which will make it stay muddy there. How about plumbing it to move the water away from the house and where it does not cause any muddy spots. most of the work is nice but that is an issue
The water was getting in thru the front of the house which we now fixed. The sump pump is installed toward the back of the house which goes down a mountain and not possible to return to the pump. Its hard to tell the situation from videos.
Silt from where? This pump was installed to collect above floor flooding. You are talking about a pump that collects water from under ground. We already waterproofed the front wall where the flood water was getting in so this pump is just in case a pipe breaks. Plus it helps lower the home owners insurance.
Sounds like 👍 you are in PA or NJ. I HAVE THE BOSCH Brute breaker. I live in Davenport Iowa,,,I did waterproofing for 25 years. I will check out some of your other videos!!I'm sure the sub soil is different there. Take care of yourself and see ya on the next one
How does the water get into the basin ? ... either there's 4in pipe next to the footers or there's like 100 3/8-1/2 through holes on the side wall of the basin .. I didn't see either ?!
@@PHL_Brownstone now I understand the situation .. customer's always right lol .. bet that pump will look the same way right out of the box 20 years from now lol
Water was getting in the front wall, I have another video digging down 10’ to expose foundation. We water proofed the front wall this pump was installed on the back wall. There was no under basement floor water problems! Now the pump is there incase pipes break because after we waterproofed the front wall the basement is bone dry
Best option for this job was out back down the mountain! The basement was flooding during major storms. I’ve seen storm drains and sewer lines back up and not draining properly in storms. The whole point of this install was to make sure the water is removed during storms
The pump itself is straight forward. I just placed it in the tub, used the furnco to attach the PVC drain line, connected the battery, plugged it in and tested it.
Customer moved in, a month later it rained hard, the front wall under ground leaked! She had two feet of water in the basement! So yeah she needed a pump
@@PHL_Brownstone That's an issue of managing water in front of the house. Like not having any fall away from the foundation. If the house is above grade there is no reason to pump water out it will just naturally move that way. Maybe you could argue it needs a drain but why a pump?
There is no man made footing at this house, they layed the block directly to bedrock 😂 this house has zero settlement cracks and will never ever sink. We dug closely to save room and so far everything is great 😊
@@johnsn10 yeah that’s probably the best way to go ordering one but my customer wanted it done now so I had no choice. So far it’s working nice 👍 we test it once a month.
Water was coming in the front wall. Higher than the sump pump. The sump pump is on the rear wall. Front wall is under ground which is now water proofed! Rear wall is above grade. Look at some of my other videos and it shows the layout! Water is not seeping from below ⬇️ it came in the front wall now it’s fixed
Nice neat job,awesome!
Neat work with drill and shop vac - professional excellence !!
lol the big gun the hilti. the way you said that was golden
Great video. Thanks for posting.
Great camera coverage.

Now you have to watch this one😂 czcams.com/video/utLXDhgiM_g/video.html
pipe should be extended far from home , not near wall..will return to pump

@@PHL_Brownstone Makes sense to me.
Did u install a filter membrane around the sump it to prevent silt getting in?

Judging from the video alone it looked like there is sufficient drop off to simply drain the water out without a pump. Is that a thing?
My Bosch have done that same job every time no problem
Yeah it turns out the brushes on the bosch need to be replaced stopped working all together 😂

That's why I made this update video! click the link
@@PHL_Brownstone now I understand the situation .. customer's always right lol .. bet that pump will look the same way right out of the box 20 years from now lol
@@davidfrisch5538 basement is bone dry since we fixed the front. The pump will be useful if a pipe breaks 🤣
@jamie Thompson, what do you call that tool, for drilling through center blocks, and concrete?
That's a bosch hammer drill with a 3" coring bit from Home depot
@@PHL_Brownstone thanks I knew what the Bosch was, just couldn't recall the coring bit was, thanks alot!
Is this to collect rainwater or water in basement? I find it odd that it was raining and I saw no water in the hole you dug.

@@PHL_Brownstone reasonable. At least if the water line breaks, it won't flood
What are you going to do in the event of radon gas infiltration into the home now that you opened up the the floor in the basement
The basement has a radon extraction system already installed 2020. Every thing I opened up is now sealed up
Why you not connect the sumpump in to the main draining pipe?

Did you drill all those holes with one sds bit?
Yes sir, and the same bit is in use 3 years later
@@PHL_Brownstone Does a much cleaner job than jack hammering like many do.
@@jerseyjim9092 yeah I was worried about wrecking the house with dust. This worked out great
How much is the charge include the pump….? anyone knows..?
I’m pretty sure he said $700 at the end of the video, not including the battery.
Did you use a 4” or 7” grinder?
I used the 4” grinder and cut about a quarter to a half inch deep and worked great 👍
@@PHL_Brownstone thanks
@@PHL_Brownstone one more question…what size cement drill bit did you use?
@@MrBrandonKaiser it was a Bosch 1/4” SDS masonry drill bit.
lol vacuum at the start but when you drill the uggadugga hole at 8:00 none?
The circuits couldn’t handle both 😂
Very neat, but you dont show the installation of the pump, which is the main thing.
The pump itself is straight forward. I just placed it in the tub, used the furnco to attach the PVC drain line, connected the battery, plugged it in and tested it.
@@PHL_Brownstone 👍
Go birds
You don't need a sump pump the basement is above ground.

@@mp-xt2rg you should watch my sump pump update video for further understanding. It is at the end of the video in the end screen
I think you digged the hole too close to the wall, the wall footing should not have touched for this purpose, nice video though. Thanks.
There is no man made footing at this house, they layed the block directly to bedrock 😂 this house has zero settlement cracks and will never ever sink. We dug closely to save room and so far everything is great 😊
The Hilti is way bigger
I needed it for the hardened boulders these were no ordinary boulders!
Those backups suck. Get a pump sentry 822
Unfortunately not a lot of options during COVID! Had to get the pump at 1 Home Depot and the backup battery at another
@@PHL_Brownstone I ordered one no problem during COVID! home depot and lowes sells junk backup systems
@@johnsn10 yeah that’s probably the best way to go ordering one but my customer wanted it done now so I had no choice. So far it’s working nice 👍 we test it once a month.
@@PHL_Brownstone you test it by pouring water in it??? Lol
Cause that's the only way it's getting in there...
Notice.. He didn't video that part lol
