sump pump discharge
You guys were so quick and good with the first question I might as well try again.
A sump pump discharge pipe comes up out of the well,(pit), in the basement, goes up about 2 feet, over 2 feet and then back down into the concrete. From there I am guessing, but it looks like it goes over into the grinder, (injector), pump.
Is this a new typical way of routing the discharge of the sump? no more outside? Is it typical allowed to be pumped into the waste water system of the city?
I typically inspect a lot of older homes but I've inspected 2 new homes in the last week, and they both had a sump pump set up like this.
Thanks for the help again
Rick

Re: sump pump discharge
Rick,
That is not something that I have seen; however, in San Francisco, street runoff is routed into the sewer system instead of a separate drainage culvert. I think the best bet would be to contact the city in which this was installed and ask them.
The vast majority of sump pump systems in my area discharge to the exterior. The few that I have seen that discharge into a sewer/drain were done incorrectly.

It is best for all and for future reference and searches, to post questions in the applicable forum (see the main list).
