If my basement floods after this I will be shocked. This system can handle a massive amount of water. |

I did a similar amount of trenching on a house in 1992 and paid about $3,500. What's it cost now? You were smart not to do it. In '92, I had more time than money and seriously considered trying to do it, but after seeing the amount of material they pulled out of the house and the number of folks they had to do it - it would've been a mistake for me to do it. It was rock solid and fixed my basement water issues. The house sold recently and it's been dry the entire time The guys that did mine, didn't do as well matching up the concrete as yours. It was messy, so you got that going for you. What's both pits for? It looks like you have 2 lines going out? I assume there is a backup sump in there or something? One of my Carona projects was to setup my backup sump. I have it exiting out of the house and not tied into the sewer at all and it's battery powered. I don't think I need it, but it gives me piece of mind. The battery backup unit was about $100 and another $100 for a deep cycle battery. Also, these are great: https://www.amazon.com/Water-Alarm-Electronic-Detector-Detects/dp/B072XVW44W |

The two pits are tied together. That way the pump cycles less often. Yes there is a backup as well. |

Demoing houses for the past 15+ years I have seen some weird ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. Building codes have definitely come a long way to help the home owner. I don't remember there being drains when my parents built their old house in '90. But in my house now that was built in 2010 contains three floor drains that feed directly into the sump pump. |
