Customer Reviews for Everbilt 18 in. x 22 in. Sump Pump Basin

They work good, thicker sides than the others- pre-slit ones. I prefer drill my own holes for weeping in the water and I throw few 4” screws threw sides into gravel hold them down if your hole is drier during install. Not always that lucky. Hole saw cut clean through sides. Easy to plumb other crocs drains into.

It works perfect for what I need it. I have cut the bottom off and used the remaining part of the basin as an extension of the culvert under my driveway. Fabulous :-D

I purchased this sump basin to install in a basement window well prone to flooding during prolonged hard rains. No complaints about the quality of this sump and no concerns about it being able to survive our severe winter climate. This thing is tough enough to take the abuse of being installed in the ground outdoors even in this northern climate. The addition of a cover will keep snow and ice out of it during the winter season. I drilled twelve 1/4” holes along the sides of the sump basin and four 1/2” holes in the bottom, wrapped it in landscape cloth, set it on 4” of gravel and surrounded it with approximately 4” of gravel to within 3” from the top - 450 pounds of gravel. Although the bottom holes should allow the sump to eventually completely drain, I plan on removing the pump in late fall and reinstalling it in early spring to assure that there is no freeze damage to the pump over the winter.

Sturdy, good construction, thick material, looks like it will last forever (which is what is expected). I took 5 minutes and drilled my own holes in it and saved $20.

The Everbilt Sump Pump Basin PERFECTLY fit into our builder's preconfigured designated sump pump area. It's heavy duty construction combined with the recommended HD sump pump leave me worry-free.

Perfect sized basin and it comes as a watertight container, meaning there are no holes preset for you to use. No thin wall sections to simplify making a hole. I wanted to make my own sized holes at the level I wanted them, so this was a big reason why I chose this basin.

I had a basement that would get wet every time the snow melted and I was tired of it. So here's what I did to correct it: I started by repairing the holes in the wall with Water Stop from Home Depot. Then, I painted the walls with DRYLOK Extreme - also from Home Depot. But I knew that with my luck, the water might still ooze up through the floor so put down a poly vapor barrier and poured a new floor. Before I did that though, I decided that I needed a Plan B. So, in the unlikely event that water ever came back, I installed a floor drain, a 2" PVC pipe and this Everbilt Sump Pump Basin, all from Home Depot. I considered it to be VERY inexpensive insurance and I'm so glad I did this. Once I repaint the walls and then paint the floor, no one will even notice the sump pump basin in the floor. It will all blend in. Cutting the hole in the basin was easy. I just used a hand-held sabre saw and was able to place the hole exactly where I wanted it to be.

Builder Sump Pump couldn't keep up. Set new basin with pump in egress basement window to relieve the hydraulic water pressure off basement walls. It's a beautiful thing now, no more problems. The wife is happy, therefore I'm happy.

This product work great I also purchased the top separately that bolts to the basin It was made of thick plastic and is a quality product

I used the basin in my crawl space. It's made of thick walled plastic, which makes it tough but still easy to work with. I drilled about 50 or so 1/2" holes into the bottom and sides, covered them with filter fabric and used stretch metal to hold it in place.

This is an Excellent product, made of durable plastic and it is made in USA. It is good for a life time.

I purchased two of these for an outdoor French drain/sump pump system. These basins are very well-constructed. I bored at least forty 7/8" holes in each of them along the sides and bottoms to allow the water to enter and this had no affect on their structural integrity. The basins have four threaded holes in the top rim for bolting down your lid. Great product at a reasonable price.

Worked well for a 1/2 HP sump pump, installation was straight forward.

Plastic basin, easy to lift, and move around. Installed without issue. Bought to help us to winterize our cabin in the mountains

Very well built. Great product. Seems very heavy duty

Just the product I was looking for

Happy to have gotten this since the builder should have done this and didn't.

Heavy duty and worked well for intended purpose.

product as described.

I purchased this for a local food pantry that was having ground water issues. The basin was easy to install and solved the problem. Ordering on-line and having it ready to pick up in the store was easy and saved time.

Thank you for being on time!!!!!
