I am remodeling my basement. I have a Rigid 1/2 HP sewage pump that is being used for the basement bathroom. Every time it operates, sewer gas comes through and since the furnace is right by it, it fills the entire house with the odor and dissipates in about 5 minutes.
I just want to know whats the best way to replace the lid on this thing. If you look at the pics, there is foam around it because the lid doesnt fully cover the hole. Also, if you notice there are a lot of block dots around the unit. Well, those are all of the flies that come from it every summer (my assumption).
The bolts around the unit are rusted, but the lid isnt attached so it comes off pretty easily. My problem is that I want to know exactly what to do, before I mess around and dislodge the lid because I dont want sewer gas to fill the house, while I try to figure it out.
What I dont understand is how to get the 2" copper pipes off without cutting them off. In order to replace the lid I am going to fabricate a custom metal cover and secure it to the concrete floor with tapcons. Any advice on getting these pipes off are appreciated!!
