    Sump Pits

    Uploaded by

    This document provides guidelines for installing a sump pump and pit for an existing single-family home. It outlines that the pit should be 30x30 inches or a minimum of 18x30 inches. It also notes that a backwater valve will close during a sewer backup to prevent water from backing up into the home's plumbing. Weeping tile water will collect in the catch basin and sump pit, and when the pit fills, the pump will automatically turn on to discharge the water outside. An electrical permit and plumbing permit are required, and inspections must pass before work is covered.

    *NOTE: Where a sump pump is installed for the control of water from a subsurface drainage (weeping tile) system: 1. A receptacle must be installed for the connection of the sump pump; 2. The receptacle for the sump pump must be supplied from a branch circuit that supplies no other outlets or equipment; and 3. The installation of the receptacle and the sump pit and pump will require both an electrical permit and a plumbing permit. Electrical and plumbing inspections are required before the work is covered.
