Flood? At this altitude?

Yeah, if your sump pump relies on electricity, the electricity goes out, and about a thousand inches of rain fall on you at that moment.

So now instead of driving to Philly to meet with some engineers at Boeing, I'm here waiting for a claims adjuster to tell me how much it's gonna cost me to refinish the basement.

Arrgh.

As if you needed more headaches.

Are you having a 747 customized to your specifications? =)

Sucks about the pump, tho. Maybe some kind of battery system for the pump ought to be looked at during the refinish?

Ouch. Hopefully you didn't lose anything important!

As other people have stated, this really, really sucks.

It also reminds me to check my pump.

Man, I feel your pain, in a very BTDT kinda way.

I have a very heavy duty system set up now, with a battery backup.
It's actually a set of three pumps, layered in a deep well.
The top pump is hooked to a battery.
