How far down should a sump pump be in the pit?

• <div><p>A sump pump should be placed at least three feet deep in a pit. The rim of the sump pump basin should be level with your basement floor. If you find your pit is too deep, you can fill the bottom with gravel until the rim of the sump pump is flush with the floor.</p></div>

What happens to a grinder pump during a power outage?

• <div><p>You should be fine. Most high-grade grinder pumps have a 24-hour holding capacity within the tank. You can continue to use the facilities so long as the power outage does not stretch into days. In a worst-case scenario, attach a generator to the grinder pump, providing it has sufficient electric capacity.</p></div>

Do I need a sump pump battery backup?

• <div><p>If you live in an area that has frequent power outages, it’s a good idea to install a sump pump battery backup. A sump pump requires electricity to move water out of the home. The battery backup will ensure that your sump pump has a supply of electricity, even if the power is out. </p></div>

How many years does a sump pump last?

• <div><p>It depends on the type of sump pump. On average, pedestal <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/sump-pump-installation-cost.htm">sump pumps last between 20 and 25 years</a>, whereas submersible sump pumps last for about 5 to 15 years. Generally, pedestal sump pumps are less expensive to service than submersible ones, but they’re also louder and more likely to clog.</p></div>

How long can you expect a grinder pump to last?

• <div><p>A well-made grinder pump should last 25 years, with maintenance required every eight to 10 years. If your toilets are backing up regularly or if you catch a foul odor emanating from the direction of the grinder pump, it may be time to have it professionally serviced.</p></div>

"I hired Jeremy through the Angi app to replace worn out hardware and connector hose on my toilet. He was prompt and on time for the appointment. However, he did not complete the job. He changed the hardware on my toilet but did not change the connector hose. He said he was going to Lowes to buy one and would be right back. He never came back. He left the job incomplete and a huge mess in my bathroom. This was very unprofessional. I reco.mend that no one hire him unless they wish to pay for unsatisfactory work."
