Why can't you just go above the sill plate and out through the rim
joist like the rest of us do? Just wonderin'....


It's a little hard to explain but, the joists run one way and the PVC will
be running the other way across the room and across the joists. If I run
the PVC up at the end to get up over the poured concrete wall and go out
through the sill plate or rim joist, the sump pump will have a long pipe
full of water sitting on top of it when it's not pumping. I would rather
have the top pipe that goes across the room be able to empty and not reman
full of water in between pumps. Goig striaght out through the top of the
concrete wall will allow that.
