Burying a sump pump discharge hose
wrote:
I recently bought in house in Northern Iowa and have a flexible black
hose as my sump pump discharge. All the neighbors have a buired
discharge. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice about how to
go about burying a discharge?
The flex hose is useful in that you can move the hose to water different parts
of the lawn. Its a minor annoyance to have to move it every couple of days to
avoid killing off the grass and to mow.
If you bury the hose, it needs to go below the frost line (or be sloped to drain
quickly) and will have to go someplace where a fixed discharge won't annoy the
neighbor or the city/county.
