I need to run a sump pump drain 225' running downhill to a ditch and need to know which is the best drain pipe to use and size?
Sump drain is now stubbed out of the house above grade (See pic) about a foot above ground level with 1 1/2" PVC by a local plumber.
Plumber wants $3,000 to run this drain the 225' to the ditch on a nice downhill grade (see pic). The cost for this job seems excessive!
Should this drain pipe enter the ground right when it comes out of the house or can I run it above ground to the end of the house then bury it the 200' the rest of the way?
How deep to dig trench? I live in Michigan.
Thanks for any advice!
