Installing a Sump Pump: What Every Tutorial Gets Wrong

Most sump pump tutorials cover the basics and leave out the details that actually matter. This episode is the full installation walkthrough: pit prep, weep holes, pump sizing, float switch types, check valve placement, discharge line routing, exterior discharge location requirements, the air gap that prevents back-siphoning, backup power options, and how to recognize when a pump running correctly is managing a drainage problem that needs to be solved from outside the house.
