Installing A Sump Pump In A Basement

[Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] ly the last project of the year so project at hand is to install a sump pump in this basement the reason for the installation of the sump pump in this basement is there's no floor drains anywhere in this basement so throw the basement there is no there's no floor drains and the reason being this basement used to be a crawl space so at some point the basement got dogged out and this is where the sewer lives and now this is the basement floor so if you notice the sewer is higher than the flow so in this project we'll install a sub pump so in case there's any broken pipes or anything along that line it will not flood the basement it will go into the sub pump and pump it outside until he realizes a broken pipe because for now the fun is is being the excess water from the furnace is being pumped out to a pump normally we'll put it in the flow drain so we're gonna add a sub pump to this basement to pump all this water out so there's a couple more stuff I need so let's run out to Home Depot or Lowe's grab what we need and come right back to work [Music] foreign [Music] bucks comparing to Home Depot 123. I guess I know where I'm finding one but then the cover is 42 bucks [Music] so that brings it to the same price as Home Depot so I'm not saving anything actually it's more expensive here okay I'm here already let me pick it up [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] nine more inches to go [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] so the good news the good news is there's no growing water in there so that's good so I wouldn't have no ground water to content with it it's bone dry so I'm gonna break a little more of the concrete and put back some sand around our bucket [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] all right [Music] foreign [Music] this up got the remain of the dot out of here put some concrete around our basin and install our sub pump [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] the cover so when I put the concrete it doesn't push this thing inwards and then I can put the lid on so installing the tempers foreign [Music] no no no no no no no okay with that being done let's hook up our plumbing so now we gotta get it all the way outside so I think what we'll do is we'll follow the phone is exhaust and intake pipes and get it out where those guys go let's drill a hole and get our plumbing into the house are out of this house [Music] thank you [Music] wow [Music] thank you foreign [Music] [Music] foreign we are expecting snow overnight so let's get this thing sealed up [Music] [Music] thank you foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] all right let's install our check valve now it's very important to have the arrows going in the direction you want the water to be pumped out now what a check valve does it allows water to go One Direction and doesn't come back and go back into the sump pump so any water passes this valve cannot go back down so let's install this connect our pipe get our electricity hooked up and let's see if this thing works [Music] [Music] so we're almost done with this project I want to build some shelves there's some shelves here run the electricity then come back and test our sub pump but first I have to take the kids to see some Christmas lights so let's go do that come back and then build some shelves [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] electricity has been run so now let's plug this in and make sure it works okay let's test this thing and make sure there's no leaks and then we can seal it up that will be the end of this job foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] okay we are about done here let's go refurbish this antique rocking chair [Music]
