    Foundation Plumbing Methods

    Typically, a sewer would pass under the footing if the depth allowed. A septic line would pass through wall as they are much shallower. Here in Michigan our water needs to be 4 ft. deep. So on a full basement thru the wall, crawl space under the footing.

    Freeze Proof Check Valve?

    On the systems I install we drill 1/8 inch hole in the pipe in pump vault or tank. When running it sprays out a little, when pump shuts off it drains the line. A little loss of pump efficiency, but beats frozen line. I am surprised you are getting temperatures that would freeze. Our access lid...
