My kids must of turned off the fan while playing outside. It is working again but the service light is still on. Thank you for this video

Very useful information. And thank you for getting to what one needs to know in a quick and concise manner.

Link to lid/cover you used?

This story is unique

Wow

These LDVI couplers are a life saver. They will absorb the radon fan vibration. My wife and I were going crazy. It sounded like a helicopter was outside our window! Now there is almost no sound at all. Thank you for this product and this video.

Excellent how to video, thank you, I learned a whole lot!!! Now I truly know exactly what to do!!! 🤠

Imma use hydraulic cement for the cove joint.then imma go against my wifes advice ,dig outside around basement and use water proof paint on the exterior wall

Where is this exact sump cover what is it called

seal air tight without an air-vent... what is that a vacuum pump ?? "Air-behind-watet" wins

Super helpful video!

Silicone is the worst sealant for concrete, especially in a basement floor. Use polyurethane. It sticks to anything forever. I like Sika products because they're available at big box stores, but use whatever brand makes sense. For basement cracks use self-levelling poly. After filling the crack (which should be cleaned out first for minimal effort, or grind them out), run a putty knife over it to clean off excess. For cold joints, use non sag poly. If you have a large cold joint, use backer rod then sealant. That can get expensive and time consuming. I have used CLOSED CELL expanding foam instead of backer rod, cut to flush with the floor, and then self levelling on top of that.

What if it's uneven and the sump pump sounds like it's working hard?

Thank you for your help. The small plastic tube was in the pipe but had popped of the top of the meter. Now it's not level anymore, and the difference is almost 2". However the high side of the meter is at 1/4". Does red fluid ever have to be added, so both sides would be around "0" when the fan is not on ? If so what is the red fluid ? It is colored water or something unique ? Thanks again for your help- Dave

Special thanks to Lowell from Wings for the voiceover

I just checked my pump and it's definitely not sealed. I have 3 holes. One for pumping water out, one for hvac drainage, and one for the wires. None sealed and how I got a snake in my basement.

I hear water/gurgling

If you’re doing a video about reading your manometer, you might want to calibrate it first.

what is the indication is the level is below 1. say around 0.7/0.8. What would that indicate problem wise or is that also normal?

Thanks! Clear and to the point.

Is the Radon nonsense still being talked about or has that fad died out ?

Thought you were supposed to leave that open. Looks like you’re just using dry lok

☺️👍

Wouldn't it be more effective to open those cracks with a concrete grinder then caulk or seal it

$2000 over 10 years is $200 a year. Most fans cost $60 a year to run, so you are blowing smoke, my friend.

Awesome video. Simple to the point. Does the tube also exist for passive systems?

A third suction point? Wow!!!!!

Saved me. It was a power issue, not a fan issue. Thanks!

If is sealed tight wouldn’t need a vent? Thanks.

Only thing missing here is you really should have another pipe that vents the pump to the exterior.

How to fill a one inch gap between basement floor and walls?

where's part 2 or what is correct?

We just had a system put in and the levels are reading almost 4.5. Obviously there's pressure, but isn't this reading a bit high?

I am adjusting ¹and I am adjusting to that that

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for. Seems the bozo that recently installed the battery backup pump had no clue and did not reseal or fasten the lid. I have a large cutout around my pvc pipe so silicone will not work in that area. For now, I just used saran wrap to cover that area. There's actually a good deal of airflow being pulled into sump pit. I can hear it whistling through the crack in lid that i did not silicone yet. Is that normal? btw, you guys installed this system long ago. :)

Pl let me know the chemical or generic name of Caulk . I do not know whether it it available in India .We have a painted metal sump cover and there are gaps. I want to fill those gaps .

Is there a need to vent the sump pump pit ? I see you sealed the pit but there is no vent.

So by sealing the pit, does that impact the pump function at all? Wouldn't it create a huge vacuum when the pump runs and pushes the water out?

Is this for all sump basins or only those with radon issues? I'm in Michigan, new 2020 construction. I'm preparing to upgrade my current sump pump and it is not caulked/sealed. It does have rubber seals around pipes but it's not air tight.

Where can i purchase that same replacement sump cover used in the video?

Hi what kind of caulk/sealer did you use? My lids bolts are corroded and some of the bolt threads broke into the basins bolt holes. The basement is smelling pretty bad. Will this method make it air tight again? Thank you

what is the sealant you use on wall to slab joints ?

all I seem to be hearing is that hydrostatic pressure will pop that right out.....????

And if the fan still doesn't spin after these steps (which I already had done), I assume that the fan needs to be replaced. How would one best go about this?

What was the first product used? It says high quality and durable but I’m curious if you recommend a specific brand? Much appreciated,thanks.

Is that the best you can come up with? That's a lot of work for something you need to open and close more than a few times...

Thanks that solved my problem! Just saved me the service visit $$$$$

gloves homie....

Hi, I saw the video and I think it is useful. May I ask how can I buy the materials you use, like the sump cover.

It's caulk not cock silly
