Interior Drain Install Feedback
Hi guys, I need your feedback on my install. I paid a company to install a sump pump and interior drainage trench - 60ft total length. It only took them 2.5 hours (3 guys), which seemed extremely quick, which has me concerned.
My concerns/questions:
Is this trench wide and deep enough? You can see the top of my footer ( I moved the pea gravel to show the pipe). My research shows this might not be deep or wide enough, but I'd like your input.
Is pea gravel acceptable to use? The contract states to use #57 drainage stone, which they didn't. They just reused The pea gravel all around the pipe. The pea gravel was already in place in my crawl space.
How critical are weep holes in the mortar joint? They were supposed to drill more, but I believe they saw my block already had weep holes so they didn't add any. Should I push for more to be added, especially on the mortar joints?
I'm concerned about the pitch of the whole pipe, but I don't have any good photos yet of how the pipe looks like entering the sump pump to compare to the height you see in the photos, which would be at the ends of the pipe runs (highest points)
Thanks.
