Crawl Space Sump Pump and Pit with Mud Filtered 5 Gallon Bucket
DO NOT PUT SUMP PIT TOO CLOSE TO OUTSIDE WALLS - mayb cause a sink hole. Crawl spaces - dig a pit, filter mud with a bucket. The Sump pump can be portable or fixed, temporary or permanent.
Standing water needs to be investigated as to the cause. That will determine how you address the problem. I needed to remove the water so I can find the source of the water – landscape issues, pipes, run off from my neighbor.
If the crawl space floor is not flat, and there are a couple of low areas, you will need portable pumps. Later you must level the entire area, and direct the water to only one central pump.
I will place the pump at the lowest point of my crawl space. I must dig a sump pit in the mud to set a 5 gallon bucket with mud-filtering fiber around the bucket, drop in a pump, attach a hose, plug into a GFI outlet and let it run. Then I will find the source of the water before I can decide on a solution.
1 Drill a lot of 3/16 inch holes into the sides a 5 gallon bucket – not in the bottom.
2 Cover the outside of the bucket with furnace filter material.
3 Attach the filter with zip ties or wire, and tighten.
4 Dig the sump pit at the lowest point of the crawl space. DO NOT dig the hole too near the outside foundation wall.
5 Anchor the bucket in position in the pit, as deep as possible, to prevent it from floating when empty.
6 Connect the discharge hose.
7 Drop in the pump with the hose connected.
8 Plug into a GFCI.
If you suspect the water from a septic source, do not discharge the water onto your lawn.
