What is the 1ft diameter hole next to my water heater in my basement?
Is it a sump hole? What is it for? There’s small rocks in it? Just moved in to my first house…
It probably is a sump pump. It depends on when and who built the house as to how it operates. Some homes basically have a ditch built around the foundation. The ditch has some gravel put into it, then a drain tile, then more gravel to fill in around the drain tile. The drain tile circles the foundation and drains into the sump pit. A sump pump with a float for activation is usually in the pit. The pump takes out the water out of the house via a 2″ drain tube usually. The pump removes water around the foundation eliminating hydrostatic pressure. This keeps the water from coming into your basement.
