hi,
The city's water main break on a 12-inch pipe flooded my church's basement. It made me think about my home, a couple of blocks away. I have a true sub-basement with a French drainage system. It has a sump pit with a sump pump and a marine battery backup sump pump. I think that setup is good. I wanted to know what kind of pump would I need in case of a flood of water not caused by the sump pit and the pumps can't keep up and I have two feet of water in the sub-basement. That means I have to pump water out of the sub-basement up a flight of stairs through the garage and up a sloped driveway. That driveway is steep like a flight of stairs and about 15 feet. Is this even doable for a pump? Potentially 50 feet in total with two serious inclines.
Thanks a bunch.
