Our basement has only flooded twice in 15 years. Would it be wise–or a waste of money–to install a sump pump?
This is a matter of personal preference, and depends on the cost of installing the sump pump compared to the inconvenience and cost of having a flooded basement. If the basement is finished or used for storage, waterproofing the space and installing a sump pump will help protect your investment and personal property. A battery-backup unit can also be installed alongside the primary pump for additional protection against power outages and primary-pump failure.
