generator ONLY works if your physically home to set it up.

Is your sump ABOVE ground level somewhere on your property?

A lot of homes here are like that, let the pump do its thing but add a
overflow drain line to a low area well away from home if you can

this takes care of power failures, sump pump failures, check valve
failures and a long list ofother failures espically important if a
flooded basement can do real harm, like mucking up a gameroom.

for under 5 grand home depot has auto start standby generators
installed to run the essentials.

kinda nice if the power fails in the winter your home stays nice and
warm even if you arent there no eturn home to frozen pipes and
smashed toilets
