When I bought this place it was apparent that the basement drainage system was overwhelmed at times.
I put in two separate sump pump systems in case of a single pump failure. Each pump also has a back-up 12v battery back-up system should we loss power in a storm when no one is home. I also
keep a new, spare sump pump on a shelf in the basement should one of the two pumps fail.
I run back up generators that plug directly into the house. I have two gens, a gas powered model and a PTO powered model that all three of my tractor can run.
I know that all seems extreme, but the first time we had six inches of water in the furnished basement I promised myself I would take every reasonable precaution to make it the last.
