How To Install a Back Yard Sump Pump

Hey good morning Chuck here with Apple drains today we're installing a sump pump outside at the home to pick up a lot of water that's picking up in their yard and it's actually uphill up here to the curb so we've already drilled a curb hole and now we're going to set this up pump up so let's take a look first thing we're going to do is put on a male inch and a half adapter it's threaded it goes right into the slot right here just crank it down hand tight to start next we've already cut a piece of pipe just to get above this bar this is going to hold the check valve in place we're going to glue that up right now good amount of PVC glue it's cold out here but it won't matter when this welds together the welds together push and hold and that's set up already nice and tight it's actually well too PVC together max I'm just going to loosen up these clamps because we want to make sure we get it on check valve only allows water to flow one way if you look carefully you'll see that there's arrows that point upward that only allows water to flow one way well then tighten it up with a 5/16 inch event these are stainless steel rings these are called mill hubs we just tighten them all outside of the drill take it we leave this one loose we can connect the inch and a half discharge off of the pipe our pump installed wire coming up shanon's put a outlet on the backside of the fence discharge comes out and around so starting to cover up you can see Paul's been covering up here he's got a nice mound up on the trench just chopping up some of that soil just to keep it tight don't forget to step on it and two-inch comes around you need any help switches back to inch and a half where it comes into the sump pump and basically this system you can see we've got a catch basin over here and another catch basin down there to pick up the low spot here in the yard this water travels down through the black corrugated pipe into the sump pit sump pump lifts it up comes out and the reason that there's a pump here is because it's uphill out to the street hey this is Chuck with Apple drains reminding you that if you believe you can do something I guarantee have a great day you
