You could also add a water detector too. Think about what would happen if
the power went out when the sump pump was needed most...

Ok, you lost me on this one. What good is a water detector to tell
me the power is out and the sump pump runs on electricity?


It is a WATER detector, not a power detector, the sump pump most likely runs
on electricity. Storm damage=a lot of water=power lost=water detector alert.
Leaking pipe, water heater, flood, act of of God=water detector alert. Could
be tied into home alarm if you wish.
