Hello,
I live near Chicago. We occasionally get a few inches of 'ponding' in our back yard. The ponding only occurs when there extreme rains.
I've installed a few french drains to help out. I'd like to add a pump to one of the french drains to pump water to the street. The bottom of the french drains are down about 54" below grade. The french drains a have a single small surface drain as an inlet.
What are the options for a pump that can be set in a french drain? I need something that is zero maintenance. It will take a shovel to get to it.
THanks,
STeve
