We had recently installed a laundry sink for the washer in the basement, we arrived today because the client states that the breaker trip when the pump and dryer turn on at the same time, also a weird smell coming from the pump and sink. I sniffed the vent and I smell just stagnant water and bacteria in the pump basin. I advised the client to periodically pour some bleach in the sink to help reduce any odors that maybe coming from it. Also, I advised to the client to have an electrician come out to further diagnose the issue with the electrical. While on sight, client had asked me to perform a diagnostic check up on the existing sump pump and battery back up system. Age of both pumps are undetermined at this time, but both pumps are working as they should and pumping the water out of the pit. No real issues that I can see at this time.
