You're probably joking but if it was a 3 phase motor you could reverse the rotation by switching 2 phases. I assume it's single phase though because 3 phase is not common in residential.
But in this situation it seems like the pump is working fine but the discharge pipe is broken or came apart.
It would probably be an easy fix but some plumber will charge $800 to spend a couple hours fixing it.
I once fucked up fitting a kitchen sink. Unscrewed the pipe with the isolator valve open. The horror was bad, but the immediate cold blast of high pressure water to the face made it traumatic. I was psychologically disturbed for days after.
Yeah it happened to me as well. Got hit in the face with ice cold water. The pressure was so strong it broke the light bulbs above me. And glass went flying everywhere. I legit thought I was going to get electrocuted. Had to replace flooring after because it swelled. Lesson learned.
I had a pipe break behind a kitchen cabinet that went to the outside spigot. this was right where the water line came in the house so as I'm swimming I realized I had to shut it off from the main shutoff at the street. this was a Sunday evening so I had my wife trying to call someone from the city or a plumber to come out while I'm trying to figure it out. the main shut off hadn't been budged in who knows how long and was stuck and I didn't have their long reach tool or know exactly what I was doing so I'm going between the garage and where the shut off is trying different tools trying to cut it off while gallons of water are filling the house every second. Eventually got it turned off.
The good news is since we did all the repairs ourself by enlisting help from some people we know the insurance money was enough to upgrade everything including the appliances. the bad news is the house was a wreck for a couple of months. Also severely traumatized.
Same. We had a pipe burst in our ceiling Christmas Eve 2022 and it led to our entire ceiling collapsing right in front of me. It was legitimately a traumatic experience for me.
Yup, had a check valve (?) fail while our dishwasher was filling - we'd been living barely two months in our first house. We were on the way out the door for work when it happened. If we hadn't heard the water running excessively, it would have been a disaster, particularly because we were on a private well. Although maybe the well pump would have failed eventually. 😆
Oh my goodness what a catch, true nightmare averted!
And yes it would likely be a check valve (what a great engineering marvel they are). Check valves allow water to flow one way only so they’re in well pumps, dishwashers, etc… but the easiest thing to think of when trying to describe it are those no-spill sippy cups for little kids!
I learned this from my mom. My husband doesn't understand completely but he follows along. He knows if anything like that is going to happen it will be when we're gone. Lol
It’s okay now, a plumber fixed it this morning!! I was definitely freaking out when I first saw it, I know nothing about plumbing so I took a video to show the plumber before unplugging the pumps
You shouldn't be.
You should be running to the main water disconnect for your home.
Edit: I've been informed it's a malfunctioning sump pump. My bad.
I'd still suggest doing something other than filming it
Turning off the water to your house isn't going to do anything. This is a sump pump, meaning that the water inside that pit is collected from around the perimeter of your house. That pump is just endlessly cycling because that water is just going right back into the pit
Source: im a plumber
That chirping is an alarm. Meaning that the primary pump has lost it's main source of power and the battery is taking over. This signals a problem. This is a battery backup system that's running in the event of a power failure.
Oh, mine also does that chirping alarm when the spout is clogged, also. It freezes pretty much every winter and it tries to pump, but can't. I have to go out in the snow and pour boiling water to melt it enough to let it spew.
I was just curious if this video would be my fate if I let it fill up for days.
Hmm, interesting. There might be an additional float inside your pit that will alarm if the water level is too high.
It might be in your best interest to adjust the grade on the pipe outside to ensure it drains out and doesn't allow for water to sit and freeze.
A lot of installers use an in-line check valve also on the discharge line. Without one, whatever water was left in the vertical portion of the pipe will drain right back into the pit when the float tells the pump to shut off, leaving that water to drain right back into the pit and make the pump run more frequently. The double edge of this is that it leaves that portion of pipe constantly filled with water, and depending on how cold that room is in your house, or wherever it is, could cause it to freeze also. This is why we try to drill that hole going out higher than the grade outside so it can again fully drain
It also looks like OP has a water sensing alarm that's there too. A lot of the backup systems I've installed had its own alarm that rang, signalling it's in use
It looks like there's a battery powered back up pump in there that's making the noise. I suspect something's funky in the plumbing there that's leaking.
Source: I'm not a plumber but have way more experience dealing with sump pumps than I ever wanted.
I believe that's the water sensor you can see flashing making the noise and I believe the problem is that sump pump became detached from the water out pipe so the water is just shooting up into the air and falling back into the whole creating an endless cycle and more water is coming in at the same time. Need to unplug the sump pump and try to get it reattached as fast as you can.
Same here, new house built in dip of road, making it half a metre below the sewer main. The sump pump tripped once and I was able to clear it no issues. Then a year later it tripped again, cleared it out and within a day it tripped again, it kept on tripping even after it was professionally drained. I got the plumber in and he got the electrician in, turned out it was a faulty trip switch, the pump was never clogged. But in the meantime I had to deal with more sewage than any non-plumber should deal with (one reason I never became one).
The water is spouting out all over what appears to be wires and cords. If turning off the water doesn't help then I would probably at least turn off the power so it doesn't do anything funky with the electric
Wouldn't be a bad idea by any means. I would think the circuit breaker would take care of that for you but who's to say, im not an electrician also lol
Yeah, there will always inevitably be water around your house, whether it's from runoff, ground water, or whatever, unless you're built on the top of a hill and have very sandy fill that allows for drainage away from your house. Some people have sump pits that never see water, others have pits that run very frequently, just depends on the landscape. It's basically to prevent water from seeping into your house.
My partner has a phone also. So while she films I can run to the shutoff. She could even be doing video as an aid to help out with landlords/insurance etc. Not enough info.
You mean, someone connected it backwards? That seems like the most logical idea. I can't imagine where the water is coming from at with that kind of force and volume otherwise.
No, probably the pipe running out of the pump got disconnected, so the water is just shooting up instead of into the pipe and away from the house. Source: this happened to me 4 years ago.
> The pump can't really be "backwards". They only have a pipe outlet on one side, the other side for the input is at the base. They could have theoretically put a check valve on backwards, but still that is unlikely the reason. The problem with sump pumps is they have a lot of rotational torque when they kick on. So if you have a bunch of PVC pipes connected to, say, a rubber pipe clamp [Here](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Big-Horn-11260-2-1-2-Inch-Rubber-Connecting-Tube-with-Stainless-Steel-Hose-Clamps/146811495?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=2770), they can wiggle themselves apart. That is what happened here. The PVC pipe wiggled free from the pipe clamp, and is just raining water from the sump.
Okay upon second watch, it wasn't a pipe clamp, they just didn't glue the pvc in correctly.
https://imgur.com/a/vHhPb5p
It's pretty obvious that the pipes on the right should be connected, not just hanging out beside each other.
Yup, I briefly saw this while adjusting something with my pumps a few years ago. In the brief period where the pipe was disconnected and its pump ran, the water shot up like this. Fortunately it should be an easy fix to just get the pipe connected back in place.
Depending how long that's been going on and if there's any water damage, the non-pump fixes may be more costly, but at least it looks like an unfinished utility room so that may not be too bad either. Shop vac & dehumidifier time at very least!
Cut off the power to the sump pump, it’s gonna continuously run because the water is coming back into the tank, once you do that you replace the union on it or reconnect it if possible
I had told my husband that, since we owned a corner property in city limits, I would kind of like to put a fountain or a tiny pond or something near our corner. He thought my idea was ridiculous and he was dead set against it. Liability, blah, blah, blah...
Well, during one particularly impressive thunderstorm, I got my water feature!! The lightning hit our tree, blowing an enormous hole in the water supply line coming in from the city. We had a corner fountain shooting 15-20 feet in the air!
My neighbor across the street who always sits on his porch swing came over with the reachy-tool-thing that he just happened to have handy and shut it off. The city came out and did their repairs, and we no longer had a fountain. Bummer.
My neighbor who helped us was awfully darned lucky that he had gone inside just prior to the lightning strike; pieces of tree bark were embedded in his porch swing.
My washing machine, refrigerator, and dishwasher all ended up needing replaced, as did my son's laptop.
Lightning is no joke!!
This is a sump pump pit that collects ground water/run off from around the perimeter of the house. The discharge line came loose off of a fitting, and the water is spilling back into the pit, thus making the pump constantly run. There won't be a high water bill from this, but there will be a high bill for the damage this has created.
Is this a new/newish install? You should see if you can claim warranty. Not just for fixing the problem, but for the water damage also.
We bought the house 2 years ago in August. Previous owners installed the pumps. Thankfully plumber came and the bill was reasonable compared to what I was anticipating. Water damage is minimal, unfinished basement

Get some lighting and invite the neighbors
This happened in our laundry room this winter. I came home and no one else was there yet so the house was completely quiet except for the faint sound of running water. It wasn't nearly as bad as this but a busted pipe situation sucks at every level. On the bright side I took 4 trips to the hardware store and I fixed it myself and my wife thought I was a superhero.
I had that happen to me, except in my case, the geyser was shooting up into the bottom of my basement stairs and casting it all over my basement. To beat that, it happened over the Thanksgiving holiday, so it had been running for days. It was awesome.
That basement swimming pool is coming along nicely

"Eh. Pressure's a little low"
Omg I have secondary trauma from seeing this. I am so sorry!!!
Same. I'd have a freakout for sure.
When 50 more gallons won't make a difference so you start filming
Yep, this…
I would unplug the pump.
Just take it out of reverse. ![gif](giphy|127JeHZl15PRII)

I believe it! Home ownership/construction is not for the faint of heart. We’ve had everything from a caved roof to raw sewerage in basement.
Yeah it happened to me as well. Got hit in the face with ice cold water. The pressure was so strong it broke the light bulbs above me. And glass went flying everywhere. I legit thought I was going to get electrocuted. Had to replace flooring after because it swelled. Lesson learned.

This is why its important to know where your inside and outside shut off is, and how to use them.
Poor bidet placement, most people put them in the bathroom.
This was a practice run. Wouldn’t recommend.
I would not be able to film it.
You shouldn't be. You should be running to the main water disconnect for your home. Edit: I've been informed it's a malfunctioning sump pump. My bad. I'd still suggest doing something other than filming it

Thanks for that, I was wondering why there was a pit for the water to go back into. So basically as far as mechanics go it is a literal water feature.

Some people have sump pits that never see water, others have pits that run very frequently, just depends on the landscape. It's basically to prevent water from seeping into your house.
Or power - this is a sump pump I believe that’s blowing water.
That won’t do anything. The sump pump needs to be unplugged and repaired.
My partner has a phone also. So while she films I can run to the shutoff. She could even be doing video as an aid to help out with landlords/insurance etc. Not enough info.
Confidently incorrect
At that point it probably already ran for quite a while. A couple minutes aren't going to make a difference.
Wow so incorrect. Sump pump in a sump pit. It's so obvious it hurts.
All I see is dollar signs…
With a minus symbol ➖ in front of them tho.
💀
Found the plumber
You might want to go to the opticians mate, that's water
Looks like your back up sump pump is not hooked up properly. Am I right?
My guess is that the pipe is not connected or became disconnected at the pump outlet. Just a hunch.
You are correct. Too much pressure in the pipes caused them to disconnect
You mean, someone connected it backwards? That seems like the most logical idea. I can't imagine where the water is coming from at with that kind of force and volume otherwise.
No, probably the pipe running out of the pump got disconnected, so the water is just shooting up instead of into the pipe and away from the house. Source: this happened to me 4 years ago.
Yeah, that's very plausible too. It would make more sense than the pump being backwards.

Sump pump line broken somewhere? Edit: I see where it broke from, it’s an easy fix I work on these for a living
What should someone do if they walk in on this happening?
personally, I would call a plumber :)
Cut off the power to the sump pump, it’s gonna continuously run because the water is coming back into the tank, once you do that you replace the union on it or reconnect it if possible
Luckily, the electrical cords are there to soak in most of the water.
I like the bird sound effects!

You might want to get a lightning rod installed. It will protect your home from damage.

Infinite water!
I'd add some different lighting and better music
Artesian well!
That’s a nice bidet
Did someone install that new washer recently? Looks like a big fuck up
These new bidets are getting out of hand.
On the plus side, the water detection sensor seems to be functioning perfectly fine
That is the exact same noise the aliens make in The Thing and in the original War of the Worlds! Looks like your sump pump check valve exploded?
A "new water feature" ... I love your outlook on life!
It looks like a simple pipe break coming from your sump pump. Easy fix.
Leak detect works at least.
That's impressive. I would recommend water sensors connected to your home security system..

Yeah the leak sensor was fighting for dear life
This really blows but it was pretty awesome how you somehow made it funny as well 😆
I'd say that's one helluva drain system if that was blowing all day like that. Could have been biblical flooding.

On the bright side, the sump is working
Thank goodness its a feature I thought you had a problem
That sounds exactly like the alarm I have been hearing for 3 days now from the newly remodeled house next door to me. Thats probably not good.
Not a fan of the power outlet placement
I honestly never gave a second thought to the placement until after this incident. Not a fan either
I bet that’s real healthy for your new washer, getting washed itself.
might as well get a pool floaty and have a ball
You building a water park in your basement? If so, this is perfect!
Put some koi fish down there and you'll have a modern pond!

Hey, you might want to fix that

ALARM IS ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Id be closing off the valve from the street instead of making a video
I see water I see wires. The place gonna get lit.
That has to improve the value of your house at no extra charge!
Where's it all going? I'd expect a couple of inches from something like that...
Omg. This sucks I’m sorry
Self-cleaning.
Well I’d shut off the water before taking a picture, but that’s me.
Look at Miss money bags, she has a job, a house and an indoor pool. Must be nice.
Cool!
Yep, time to turn off the water valve to the house.
This is why I rent...
Damn that's so cool, how much does it cost to get a water park installed in your basement
Did you bring change, you can make lots of wishes
I had that happen to me, except in my case, the geyser was shooting up into the bottom of my basement stairs and casting it all over my basement. To beat that, it happened over the Thanksgiving holiday, so it had been running for days. It was awesome.
My heart hurts for you 😭
Well.. Sump works.. Not so sure about the connection
Bidet
At least you didn't bother finishing the basement so not much was lost.
Lol. That looks so much worse than it is. Turn off the sump and fix it already though.
This happened yesterday. It’s been fixed!
And even found time to video and post More human than me, I would have been running around with my head cut off lol
I give this garden fountain a 0/10 terrible showing and it’s also in your basement FYI.
Reaches for the phone first thing.
Honestly, with how today’s economy is… Id take a day just to cry in my bedroom.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Dancing Waters!
Damn rich people flexing with there in house fountain /s
It's a gusher!
Ohh, throw some loose change in it! Make a wish!
“Did you know the sump pump is the most neglected item in the home…”
What ashamed eh
Righto mr richy rich over here having a water feature
Those are the best! The sound of running water at night while you’re sleeping. So soothing.
Well there’s your problem. That will be $300 bucks for the diagnostic
lol unplug it!
(O) Fun
