hi
I want to create a sealed cover for my sump pump pit to keep gases out.
So, I read if you are going to seal your sump pump cover, you should have a vent pipe/line. (I do have vent HOLE drilled in pipe)
I have 2 pvc pipes running from my pit
1 -main pump connects to pvc line with check valve which runs / drains very far from the house.
2 - backup sump pump connects to pvc line with check valve and terminates just as the pvc pipe exits the side of the house.
We bought the house 7 months ago and home inspector did not have anything critical to say here
Is #2 pipe the vent line?
Is this setup as described ok for a sealed sump pit cover?
Thank you
