Sump Pump Discharge Line Repair and Replacement
The Problem
A homeowner in Smithtown, NY contacted Zavza Seal after experiencing persistent drainage issues in their backyard garden area. Upon inspection, our team identified the cause as a faulty sump pump discharge line. The existing plumbing was failing to direct water away from the property, leading to standing water, oversaturation of soil, and potential flooding risks during heavy rain.
This issue not only threatened the functionality of the sump pump system but also posed a risk to the garden’s landscaping and the foundation of the home.
Our Solution: Full Discharge Line Replacement
To effectively resolve the issue, Zavza Seal designed a comprehensive trenching and drainage upgrade plan to reroute the sump pump discharge safely to the proper drainage point.
Step 1: Trench Excavation
Our crew began by excavating a trench measuring 1 foot in width, 1 foot in depth, and approximately 55 linear feet in length. This trench provided the necessary channel to install a brand-new drainage line that would ensure reliable and consistent water flow away from the property.
Step 2: Plumbing Exposure and Removal
We then exposed the existing plumbing connected to the sump pump and carefully removed the defective discharge line. The faulty pipe was no longer performing adequately and required full replacement to restore proper functionality.
Step 3: Installation of New PVC Discharge Pipe
To guarantee long-term performance, we installed a new 4-inch PVC discharge pipe. This pipe was routed from the sump pump to the sewer trap box located at the street, ensuring proper redirection of water away from the garden and home.
Step 4: Drainage System Testing and Cleaning
After installation, we conducted a thorough cleaning of the line and ran a drain snake through the system to verify that everything was functioning correctly and draining properly. This final quality check ensured the system was fully operational before project completion.
The Result
✔ Effective Drainage Restored
The sump pump discharge line now functions as intended, efficiently diverting water to the sewer trap.
✔ No More Standing Water
The backyard garden is free from water pooling and oversaturation.
✔ Improved Property Protection
By resolving the sump discharge issue, we eliminated the risk of basement water intrusion and foundation stress.
