Can a sump pit be turned in to an ejector pit? Or will I have overflow problems?
My brother refinished my basement including a bathroom. He used one of my sump pits as an ejector pit. I am told that the furnace, water softner & washer also drain into this pit. However since the bathroom has been finished about 4x a year I get water from the pit or drain in the furnace room. I have been told this is because the ejector pit is incorrectly sized & should not be tied into these other drains, and to correct the problem I need to have an actual correctly sized ejector pit put in. Is this true? This will be a difficult task, so I am wondering if there is an easier way to fix the water overflow problem besides digging up the concrete floor?
