I had my water heater replaced last December with a Ruud PH2-40PF (the old one finally got a leak). I replaced my furnace and A/C about a month ago - the A/C died and the furnace was about 30 years old. Anyway, the new furnace is a 95% direct vent model and all I have on the current chimney...

Both *could* run at the same time. The front pump sees the most action. The back one is usually dry... What about running up to the ceiling right away out of each pump vs along the floor from front pump to back pump then up..?

I know being plumbed to the septic is bad.. I didn't do that - one of the previous owners did. I'm just trying to figure out how to run the pipes. I plan on ejecting out the back of the house and down the hill - away from the septic system. As far as the front pump, I can't send it outside in...

I'm replumbing both of my sumps. They are both plumbed with 1 1/4" hose from the front to the back, then to the stack (it drains into the septic). I'm doing this work since it drains into the septic and because the hose from the back pump to the stack leaks. I want both pumps discharging on a...

Fun.. I actually live in a rural community (~50 houses, I think). I sit on half an acre, but the yard is deep rather than wide. My lot is about 100ft wide and 260ft deep. The second photo shows a red bench and bush in it - that is the property line on the east side.. One other thing - what...

Well, bought a house back in August that was just outside of city limits and has a septic system. I found out at that time that the tank was a new 1000gal tank (round concrete) that has a surface access. The rest was unknown at time of sale, but I did have a pumper take a look at it and things...

Believe me, my own house didn't have any vents except for an AAV that was lower than all of the first floor drains. Got replaced this weekend with all PVC. The odd thing is that there was a 1.5" pipe up to the roof for venting that was abandoned. Not clogged or anything else. Strange what people...
