DIY Sump Pump Installation is EASIER Than You Think

Discover the critical elements of a properly installed crawl space sump pump system with Michael Church from Crawl Space Ninja. This comprehensive walkthrough reveals why many homeowners are unknowingly creating "swimming pools" beneath their homes and how to avoid this common mistake.

The journey begins with an exploration of the Jackel sump pump basin system, featuring strategic knockouts for electrical and discharge connections. Michael emphasizes the often-overlooked Dranger Drain component—a game-changing addition that prevents catastrophic pooling on top of vapor barriers during unexpected water events like burst pipes. Without this crucial element, even well-encapsulated crawl spaces remain vulnerable.
