This was a great video. It really helped me to figure out what I need for a similar project. Thank you for sharing! 👍

I've had that problem in the past and spent time and $$$ putting in a french drain but had the thought of putting the sump in. This video really is done well and helps to see the process. You should be getting a commission from the sump retailers!!!!! Great job!!!

Thank you for sharing this video, it was very helpful. I had the same issue. My only concern was the freezing of the water in the hose as our nights can tumble well below freezing after a rainfall.

Great job on the video, very informative! I actually install egress windows and entry s for a living and have run into the occasiional situation where the house weeping system was not draining the way it should. Your technique is one way I can deal with that issue when it arises. Its obviously a lot of additional expense but something that may need to get done in the event the drain to the house weepers isnt working. I like how the pit can be completely buried under the stone for esthetics and also to perhaps keep mosquitoes from entering the pit. One thing I would mention is in our area the stone bed can not be any closer than six inches from the bottom of the window to prevent detritus from contacting the window frames and soiling the window itself. Also it leaves more room for water to sit further away from the bottom of the window. Great video!

Nice job! 👍👍

I’m interested if the other drains will drain into this one if they don’t drain elsewhere. That would be nice, one pump, two or more window wells.

Do you have a link or can you tell me what items you purchased?

great video. I appreciate you actually showing the digging process instead of cutting past it, as that part seems to be the biggest pain. biggest unanswered question in all this, though, is how many frogs were murdered by that post hole digger :)

I would have dug the pit front LHS of shot, thereby moving the pit away from your wall. of the house and left a good deal of the clay soil between the pit and the foundation. By digging it next to the wall you are forcing the water to be adjacent to the foundations until the sump pump kicks in.

Dude. Great video. We just bought a house and this will be our first spring/summer with it. We had a radon fan/pump put in and he gave us a new, sealed, lid with a window on our pump put. I thought I'd check out how the rain the last couple days had I affected it.

Well done!! - Pardon my pun.

Your sump pump is a automatic pump ya? Im having the same issue right now and considering doing this.

Hi.. can you please suggest which sump pump you bought here and also can you give amazon or links for all the items?

Hi .. can you please tell me what is your window well size?

I like that better then the drain

drill a small hole above the check valve

Looks like @

Is the amount of water that has collected in the bucket okay to be there? Does that imply that amount of water is pressing against your foundation all along that side of your house?

Good project ,you must have water sipping in baysment fundation is not waterproof.

How and where to wire sump punp in outside rain? Is wiring safe outside?
