I recently added a pump to a low spot in my back yard that fills up to around 5 inches or so after heavy rains, partially due to ground water magically helping to fill it until it runs out. So i dug a small hole, leveled or packed in some of the area with what looks like clay from nearby to direct the water to the pump so there isnt any standing water like there used to be, also put a mesh screen around the pump so it wouldnt suck up debris. Plugged the pump into a remote control outlet so i can activate it without having to go outside and without the need for a float switch as the pump didnt have one built in. Got a 5FT hose pointed up into the woods so it looks like a fountain when its on and it works like a charm. (sorry for the long post) It wasnt until heavy rains in March that i learned why/how the area filled up the way it did, and thats after 24 years of living here and clearing up the backyard the past 10-15. Got the pump as it had a crap ton of mosquito larva hangin out in it. In the end it took me about a month or so of pumping a couple of times a day before the ground water stopped filling it up, been nice and dry for the past month, at least until we get a heavy rain again. Actually have 2 or 3 vids under this account if anyone is interested (i recently asked for help regarding it so thats why, not to seek views)

In U.K., blocking natural water crossing onto your land, like the pool people did, is illegal and could lead to prosecution. UK law would require the pool installation to also deal with the water once it was on their property but they could still continue to pass the flow on to their neighbour’s land provided that was historically how the water flowed.
@tyelandscapinganddrainageАй бұрын
Thank you for your insights Hyuklder. This is a tough one, but the town had to approve and give them a CO for this pool. Plus, water is supposed to be contaminated on our property, so I don’t know if the neighbor could complain about this customer’s water going to them. You’re right, I was told recently that we couldn’t put up a berm/raised bed that would stop water coming onto our customer’s property. The engineer said we ‘couldn’t impede the natural flow of water’. There are many sides to this issue.

Great job. In these kind of jobs, I would suggest that you recommend to the clients that they pipe their downspouts into the basin. With the increasing rain that's happening almost everywhere the ground is unable to absorb it all. I'm sure that the majority of the water accumulating in the garden is from the roof after several days of rain, only after that would the surrounding grounds and the neighbouring land be saturated and have no escape. This problem probably didn't exist 10 years ago. Now it's becoming the norm in many areas. My motto is whenever it's possible, get it or pump it away from the property.

You'll never be able to pull that electric cord out or any other in that 2" PVC plumbing pipe. When the pump goes bad- it's all got to be dug up again. 3/4" electrical PVC conduit could have had one cord in it; a female cord-cap on the end in the basin for a standard-length-cord pump and float (not special order 50 ft) and the other end go directly into the basement electric panel on a breaker. The panel had to be on the other side of the wall; the electric meter is right there. The pump on that outside GFCI receptacle is not good... poor electrical installation. And the pump float is too high, pump flow to low, pump and catch basin too small. If it really pours, it will still flood.... it won't stay flooded long after the rain stops but during a big rain, it can still flood...

Dan, I spoke to Liberty pump tech support and asked if I could do the chord another way. Like using an extension chord that ran to the basin, but they told me I had to use their 50' piggy back chord. Customer used her own electrician to install the GFI outlet. I like your idea of the female 'chord ' run directly to the panel, but I'm not sure that would pass inspection. I will inquire about that the next time I have an install like this. The pump size was a concession with the town to be able to discharge to their easement. The town engineer's primary concern was erosion. So smaller pump and a larger dissipator pad to pass inspection. Thank you for your opinion. Have a nice day

I'm still not agreeing easily with your solutions in that I would want to know the elevation of the discharge-outlet vs the elevation of the pond-bottom. If the outlet-elevation allowed for a pipe to be buried 4 inches below the surface of the lawn then I'd have not approved the added complexity of a pump. That distance seems short enough for you to laser the lawn for a more comprehensive site-plan that included all the topography. Topography maps are measured using feet-above-sea-level, you could also have a topography map for the inches-of-soil above the water-table. I only have 0.4% slope & I used dual 6-inch pipe for a 1/2 acre.

I understand that typography doesn't look the same in video as it looks in person. The bottom of the 'pond' to the grass by the fence, also the property line, was almost a 4 foot difference in elevation. It was so obvious to the naked eye that I never set up my laser. You might also assume that this was the best option since the town engineer approved of the plan and passed us with inspection. The pipe was buried 7 inches

@@tyelandscapinganddrainage When States approve the design of communities they are required to have comprehensive-drainage-plans that I think require a 0.2% slope minimum so sure they may have 4ft of soil above the water-table but if a pipe was laid on the water-table might it avoid the need for a pump... My State has also banned ponding water on residential land due to mosquito habitat so they should have slope to the ROW for a gravity-pipe.

If you're going to use a Catch Basin & a water-tight sump then you shouldn't have installed the sump int he middle of the lawn.

This was the perfect location. Right in the middle of the action. Easy to tie in the 3 pipes.

I think it's fantastic to see older people do all sorts of things that younger people do.
