So I just completed a pretty large project in my house which included adding a sump pump. I had everything temporarily piped with Fernco's because I had some other things needed to be done but wanted to start pumping. Yesterday I decided to pull the pump to pipe everything up one final time and actually screw down the lid, ect ect ect. I drilled a 5/32 vent hole about a 1/2 inch above the pump on a 45 degree angle pointing downwards. However, now I can hear the vacuumed air escaping through the weep hole when the pump shuts off and it sounds like someone is taking furniture and dragging it across tile floor when it shuts down. Normally this isn't a huge deal, but I have bedrooms above and I need to fix this or change it. I'm going to grab a new piece of 1 1/2 pipe and a adapter to connect to the pump. Should I not drill a weep hole, or maybe drill it lower instead towards the bottom? Zoeller BN53 here with a Zoeller Quiet Check Valve. Thank You.
