Question:

The pipe from my sump pump bangs like crazy when the pump turns off. Its clamped in place tightly. Any suggestions? It never used to do this it just started.

Answer:

Its possible that it is not sitting flat on the floor of the sump hole. You might also try replacing the first foot or two (at the pump end) with a rad hose and clamps. This also makes it easier to change in case of an emergency.

In the interests of retaining credibility and in fairness to all, I cannot comment on specific products, recommend prices, people nor companies for various projects.

Telephone and E mail information is always free so please don’t hesitate to take advantage of it.

Remember, even if you don’t do your own work around the house have to hire someone, you put yourself at a great advantage when you can intelligently discuss a project with the various trades people.
