 water emptying into sump pump
Author: vendlady2 (NY)

I was washing cloths the other day and noticed that my sump pump was running. I discovered that the water from the stationary tubs was finding its way to the sump pump. It never did this before. What could be going on.

That would be the normal way to install the sink, so I do not know how it is connected.

possibly the pump discharges into the drain pipe for the sink. there is a check valve to keep the sink water from draining back into the pump tank. so i'm guessing the check valve has failed and the sink water rather than going where ever it went before is backing down into the pump tank..

Where does the sink normally empty into? Anyone do any repairs on your drain system lately?

Best Wishes
