This is how ours and every other one on my block (of which there are several) is done. (except, luckily, my driveway is uphill from the sump pump exit.) And it's been that way since well before we moved in almost 20 years ago.kmk said:
Our neighbor's sump pump is buried from their basement up to the curb where it daylights.
Its water is then directed into the gutter and down (across my driveway) into the storm drain.
Can anyone tell me what it costs to connect sump pump to underground storm sewer in South Orange? sounds like a big job.
Normally this works fine. However, when it is this cold, we get a sheet of ice across the sidewalk.
My original plan was to bury it in the driveway, all the way to the street. However, piping would only be a couple of inches below the surface. That risks formation of ice, either in the pipe or where it opens into the street, and thus blocking the sump pump.
How to resolve?
