Oklahoma Drainage – 405 203 9419

Sump pump Installation in Oklahoma City and all of Central and Western Oklahoma. Sump Pumps are the only way to get water out of a basement. We install Sump Pumps too.  A French Drain or A Surface Drain Needs a Sump Pump when it is up hill in all directions from the drain.  When water can’t flow downhill to the exit of a Channel Drain, a Sump Pump is needed.

Two Sizes of Sump Pumps

Pump Size refers to how powerful it is not how physically large it is.  For Home or Small Business use a 1/3 Horse or a 1/2 Horse Works Best.  Larger Pumps such as a 1 Horse Pump must be ordered by a supplier and must be Hard Wired to 220 voltage by an electrician.

Sump Pumps can be connected to French Drains.  When you have a low-lying area that needs a French Drain, but it is up-hill in all directions and there is no way for the French Drain to move water to the Exit Point, a Sump Pump can be used. Sump Pumps can also be used to pump water out of Basements or other enclosed low-lying areas.  Most Residential applications require a sump pump that has a power rating of 1 horse to 2 horse.  (Horse being horsepower)

Clean Water

A “Clean” pump must pump water that is relatively clean, or it will clog up after a while.  ” Dirty” Pump can handle water that is not so clean that has small pieces of Debris in it.  It will also clog if the debris is too thick or large.  There are several techniques that Oklahoma Drainage uses to keep a sump pump “Clog Free” and running well. One technique is to place the sump pump on top of a cement block inside the pump cavity. 

Debris and unwanted solids fall the bottom of the sump cavity and never goes through the sump.  The sump cavity must then be cleaned out on a regular basis depending on the usual amount of debris.  Once a Year is typical.  Also putting a sump pump under a tree is a bad idea.  Leaves will clog up a sump faster than anything.  Pine needles are the worst.

Below is a Sump Pump connected to a Channel Drain.  The Sump Cavity is buried in the in the area where the dirt is disturbed.  As seen in the following picture.

FRENCH DRAIN INSTALLATION IN EDMOND OKLAHOMA

 

 

Edmond Oklahoma has been the location for many French Drain Installations for us in the past several years.  Recently we ripped out an old Surface Drain that was under a deck.  The Surface Drain was too small for the job and did not Protect the Foundation from Standing Water.  

The First step was to take out part of the deck along the wall.  Next we took out the Surface Drain and the Three-Inch Pipe which was too small.  Digging a trench along the foundation came next.  We had to ensure the, “Fall” to make sure the water would run from left to right. Next a French Drain Liner needed to be installed.  

This was necessary to maintain the integrity of the trench and to keep the French Drainpipe from filling up with sand and getting clogged over the next few years. We then installed 4 inch ADS Perf/Soc French Drainpipe along the course of the French Drain.

 Next, we connected the end of the French Drainpipe to Solid 4 Inch ADS Drainpipe to continue along the trench to the Pop-Up Emitter at the Exit Point.

 

A good Drainage System

has a point where water enters the System.  This is usually through a French Drain, Surface Drain, or a Gutter Down Spout that is connected into a Drainpipe.   Water will run through either Perforated French Drain Pipe or Solid Drain Pipe depending on the Drainage System Design.  Water will flow downhill to an Exit Point where the water will be released out of the Drainage System.  This is a done through a Pop-Up Emitter or a Curb Fitting.
