Gurgling Discharge pipe

[HalHassin]

I had a pump installed at the front of my house to drain away standing water when it rains. The discharge pipe was directed under the house through a crawl space and into a downspout drain which happens to be under our bedroom window. Now whenever it rains we hear this intermittent gurgling/sputtering noise. Is there anything we can do short of moving the pipe to another location?

Thanks for your thoughts.

HalHassin, Welcome to the DIY Forums.
I think the problem is that the shutoff height on the pump is set too low. The pump is still running and sucking air while the water level is too low to pick it up without drawing air at the same time. Try adjusting the on/off arm or float to a higher setting and pour a bucket or two of water into the pump. See if that cures the problem. Good luck and reply back with any other questions you may have.
