So now you need a generator to run a pump or your place floods? Sounds

Unless you live in a gigantic building with basements going down many

stories you should not need a sump pump, unless the place is just poorly

situated and built.

I was replying to Larry's comment that he would not buy a house with a sump pump because the power might fail. Buying a generator is an easy fix for power failures. They are not only good for sump pumps , but also for refrigerators , lights and other things.

I certainly would not hesitate to buy a house with a sump pump if that was the only problem with the house.
