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.

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.
