Sump Pump Keeps Backing Up? Found This Buried Problem

Описание: In this video, I work on a sump pump drain line that kept backing up. The discharge pipe was originally connected to a long stretch of corrugated drain tile buried underground. I couldn’t access the PVC connection point near the house, so I snaked the line from the far end using a sectional drain snake.

After running a long distance, I eventually realized the pipe was collapsed about two feet from the end, which explained the constant drainage issues. I cut the pipe back to the undamaged section and that solved the problem — even though I didn’t capture the full collapse in the video.

💧 Key Issues Covered:

Sump pump drain backing up

Using a sectional snake on corrugated pipe

Diagnosing long-distance clogs

Finding a collapsed pipe near the end

Cutting back and re-burying the pipe for a clean fix

⚠️ If your sump pump keeps cycling or you’ve got standing water in your yard, this is one problem most people don’t think to check.
