The PVC t-fitting from my sump outlet pipe has sheared off due to settlement. Now that the pipes are no longer aligned, looking for suggestions on how to best remedy. Do I need to add offsets to realign the pipes or is there any solution where the t-fitting can have some flex to it to allow for any additional settlement? Thanks!

If you can heat the pipe with a heat gun it will bend

The PVC t-fitting from my sump outlet pipe ...

Why would you accept the outlet dumping right at the foundation?
I'd suggest an entire redo with the outlet well away from the house and all the new pipe you install below grade.

Sure don't like this set up. Was there no way to connect the pump outlet to a inside?
Assuming no, If this were a gas line we would use what is called a swing joint to accommodate for settling or freeze thaw movement.
In this case I would likely replace broken tee, use a rubber coupling on the lower leg to connect. Hopefully it will allow some movement without breaking.

The vertical piece going into the ground ties into the sewer system. The top part is for overflows. Before the pipe broke, all of the water went straight from the sump pit to the sewer system.

The sewer system? You mean the storm drain system I hope.
You can't pump rainwater into the sewer.....at least not legally.
Get rid of that system and hook up some sort of drain tile (perforated pipe) and use that water to irrigate instead of "flushing" it.

It is illegal in Plainfield to connect to the storm system (if it were connected to sewer surely it would happen inside the house). I imagine it is, which is why they did such a high overflow with a U-bend. That's a lot of settlement, eventually you'll have to dig up the pipe, so then you should be installing a 4" pipe to daylight. For now just replace the Tee and add a short stub with a Fernco flexible coupling, or go ahead and dump it to grade a good 10' away until spring digging.

So the sewer line can vent right there are ground level.

OP said sewer hooked up, but may actually be the perimeter drain tile.
Why take the time to dig down 5' of earth when the sewer line and pump line are both right there inside on the other side of the wall?

If that top part is for overflow and if it ever overflowed I'm thinking your house will be full of sewer crap.:vs_mad:
But I not here to judge someones work but only to answer your question. If that was mine and I wanted to do it cheap and easy I'd cut out the broken portions and re-plumb with the size exiting the house down to the 2" and a reducer there, then for a connection a rubber hose length would be double clamped to the 1-1/2" pipes.

Icing-up of drain pipe can happen. Also it can happen that city storm sewer system gets overwhelmed and backs up. So overflow is not a bad idea IMHO.

You will be replacing some/all of the horizontal pipe. I would think that you would be able to get the new pipes sufficiently aligned for a solid tee. But a rubber ferno type coupling on the vertical leg would allow for some movement in the future. But probably, by this point the ground has settled as much is its going to.

You are right. That makes me think there is no way that can be connected to the sewer. I doubt anyone would do it and I doubt any village, city or municipality would allow it.

If it is connected to the sanitary sewer system you'll know it by the smell coming from the vent unless there is a P-trap somewhere.
