It pulls water from the lowest part of the basement over the floor drain (which would be shut off by the backflow preventer) and dumps that water into the back yard through a long hose -- because often, when there is so much ground water that it gets into the basement, the sewers are full. They are combined storm/sanitary drains in much of the city and I don't think the city's reworking of our sewer main several years ago changed that.<br />Roberta Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956807794520627885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-44020189909408911112017-05-09T09:40:58.132-04:002017-05-09T09:40:58.132-04:00Boat bilge pump that dumps into the clothes-washer...Boat bilge pump that dumps into the clothes-washer drain pipe?Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-66514939475554830482017-05-05T13:51:30.955-04:002017-05-05T13:51:30.955-04:00So I guess there is an exception to the rule '...So I guess there is an exception to the rule 'all crap flows downhill'...<br /><br />RazCountglockulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04439720948349353264noreply@blogger.com
