Sump Pump Discharge Pipe Repaired

Replaced leaky sump pump hose with PVC pipe. 

Our sump pump was using flexible swimming pool pump hose for water discharge. This hose developed some leaks. Today I replaced that hose with 1 1/4 inch PCV pipe.The nature of the job was such that two sections of pipe would not line up correctly. Solution was to use my heat gun to warm up and soften a section of the PVC allowing me to bend it by hand into usable angle. It was important to get this done because soon the huge amount of snow we have will be melting and flooding our basement.
