Quoted from merccat:Also, how do most people go about hiding the pump pit while still keeping it serviceable? I’m thinking about building a bar that can be slid out for service.
My two houses, one I framed into a closet where I kept my AV gear (it never went off a single time... No water issues at all, land was all sand). Current house, the pit is in the back by the rest of the HVAC/water heater stuff, so is basically just an unfinished storage area so no need to "hide" it.
Quoted from merccat:Pit has two pipes top side which lead up to ground level. One appears to be a vent
If I had to guess, the vent is probably to remove radon. When we sold our townhouse, the buyer did a radon test and it was every so slightly elevated, so they made us install a radon remediation system. The installers put a pipe in the sump pit and vented it to the roof. It was ugly (because they ran the pipe up, through the garage, through a closet on the second floor, and out the roof), and has a fan that could potentially fail, but whatever, not my house anymore.
