Sump Pump Discharge Lines done right.
A sump pump is only as good as its discharge. If the pipe ends near the foundation, the water drains right back into the soil and the pump cycles endlessly.
We run buried discharge lines to a safe outlet, add check valves and protect the pipe from freezing and clogs, so your pump moves water out for good.

Where should a sump pump discharge?
Well away from the foundation, downhill of the house and not onto a neighbor’s lot. We plan an outlet that works.
Can I drain a sump pump to the sewer?
No. Sump water should not enter the sanitary sewer.
Why does my pump run so often?
Often because discharge water returns to the pit. A longer line usually helps.
