I have recently completed basement and want to make sure I am doing the things to make sure I am prepared. It seems like many folks on here are experts vs DIYers. I am a DIY trying to figure out what to request an Expert do at my house. Below I have a list of comments I learned on this site and any quesitons that I sure would like commnents on.
1) Zoeller Sump pumps seem to be the only good choice. However there aremany choices within. My sump runs when it rains and even a bit when its dry so it definately gets use. My question is which to choose? http://zoellerpumps.com/ProductByCategory.aspx?CategoryID=3
2) Check valve. my house is pretty new (3 years) and was build with the sump not having a check valve. Should this go in on top of the pump or up higher or lower? The pump goes up the 9 ft wall and then out.
3) Back up pump. Everything I read is that the watchdogs are junk but seem so simple. What is the best way to be backed up because of a power outage.
Thanks for any feedback!
