Abstract
A sump pump crock includes a body including an upper body and a lower body, wherein the external surface of the upper body, and in some embodiments the inner surface of the upper body, extends radially past the external surface of the lower body. The body may also include two or more flanges, including at least one upper flange on the upper body that extends radially past the at least one lower flange on the lower body. Furthermore, the lower body of the sump pump crock may include one or more ports, such as to provide a lower location for attachment of components (e.g., a perimeter drain). The sump pump crock may further include a first portion and a second portion that is separate from the first portion, which when assembled form the upper body and the lower body.
