(new related question page 4, post 74)
(update: page 3, post #47)
Im guessing this is a fairly common issue. Im wondering what options are out there for sump pump water discharge lines that are freezing up. - My outside part freezes up every winter. Last night was the first time it froze up inside. Right near the extra, but inside none the less.
This was the sump pump system that was here when i moved in.
Top of the inside portion. Right around that black pipe portion was where it froze last night.
Outside part of that black line. That has often froze.
Thats a thin black plastic line that attaches to the white part at the end of the pump line so it can direct the water away from the foundation. Very thin and always freezes if theirs water left in the line.
(Side question; anyone have any idea what that big white pip in the ground is? It goes down a decent bit. I cant see the bottom but there is a big bush right above it making it hard to see.)
