Minnesota’s plumbing code will broaden to allow licensed waterproofing contractors to install a sump pump in an existing single-family dwelling.

Gov. Mark Dayton signed the new law April 4 to address code inconsistencies between cities and counties as it relates to sump pump installation. Sponsored by Rep. Tim Sanders (R-Blaine) and Sen. John Pederson (R-St. Cloud) it takes effect Aug. 1, 2012.

“Basically what it is saying is that you don’t need a full-blown license to do the work,” Sanders said.
