Abstract
A drainage system for engaging and removing accumulating drainage water with a sump pump liner, a sump pump disposed within the liner, and at least one contiguous void with an inner volume in fluidic communication with an inner volume of the liner. The void can comprise a low pressure void compartment disposed distal to the bottom of the liner, or the void can comprise a water harvesting arm with a proximal end retained by the main body of the liner and a body portion that projects from the main body. Liner-void apertures can be disposed in the bottom of the main body of the liner, and void-environment apertures can be disposed in a void bottom partition. The main body can have a rectangular cross section with a lateral water harvesting arm projecting from each sidewall.
Claims25
A drainage system for engaging and removing accumulating drainage water, the drainage system comprising:
- a sump pump liner with a main body with an inner volume defined at least in part by at least one sidewall and a bottom;
- a sump pump disposed within the inner volume of the main body of the sump pump liner;
- at least one contiguous void with an inner volume in fluidic communication with the inner volume of the sump pump liner.
A drainage system for engaging and removing accumulating drainage water, the drainage system comprising:
- a sump pump liner with a main body with an inner volume defined at least in part by at least one sidewall and a bottom;
- a sump pump disposed within the inner volume of the main body of the sump pump liner;
- a contiguous void compartment with an inner volume in fluidic communication with the inner volume of the sump pump liner wherein the contiguous void compartment is disposed distal to the bottom of the main body of the sump pump liner whereby, when the sump pump liner is disposed in an upright orientation with the sidewalls disposed generally vertically in a volume of surrounding matter, the contiguous void compartment will be disposed below the inner volume of the main body of the sump pump liner and deeper into the volume of surrounding matter.
A drainage system for engaging and removing accumulating drainage water, the drainage system comprising:
- a sump pump liner with a main body with an inner volume defined at least in part by at least one sidewall and a bottom;
- a sump pump disposed within the inner volume of the main body of the sump pump liner;
- a contiguous void with an inner volume in fluidic communication with the inner volume of the sump pump liner wherein the contiguous void comprises a water harvesting arm with a proximal end retained by the main body of the sump pump liner and a body portion that projects from the main body of the sump pump liner.
