The customer near Bottle Bay in Sagle needed a pump house. His water lines were already in the ground, so the building had to fit around them. He wanted room to hook up his pump and filtration system inside.
We built a 6x8 pump house on site in one day and framed the floor around several pipes. Each pipe comes up through the floor right where it needs to be. That way the pump and filter can be hooked up inside without moving any lines.
Before the floor went down, we laid a vapor barrier on the ground. We filled the floor framing with 3.5 inches of insulation. That helps protect the pump and lines through cold North Idaho winters. Primed T1-11 siding and black composition roofing close in the building.
The finished pump house sits next to the power service with the pipes ready inside. It gives the customer a clean, insulated space for his water system, built to fit his setup.
We built the floor around his pipes so the pump could go right inside.

Yes. We build on site, so we can frame the floor around pipes that are already in the ground. Each pipe comes up through the floor where it is needed. The customer does not have to move any lines.
A pump and its lines need protection from freezing. Insulation in the floor holds in heat and keeps cold from coming up from the ground. It is much easier to add during the build than later.
A vapor barrier keeps ground moisture from rising into the floor. That helps protect the framing and insulation. It also keeps the inside drier for equipment.
For many setups, yes. A 6x8 gives room for a pump, a filter, and space to work on them. We can size the building to fit the equipment you have.
