Sump pumps in Lebanon
The detached-home share here is 74%, above the Ohio figure of 69%. That ranks 15th highest of the 49 Ohio cities we profile. Storms that fill the pit often knock out power too, which is why battery or water-powered backups are common upgrades in Ohio.
Pumps last about 7 to 10 years. 75% of homes here are owner-occupied, and an owner who has never replaced the pump in an older house is likely due.
In Ohio: Older homes in Ohio's cities have cast iron and clay sewers, galvanized supply lines and some lead service lines.
Discharge rules
Many cities prohibit sending sump water into the sanitary sewer, so the discharge should go to the yard or an approved storm connection.
