Minor basement floods
My question is about minor rain related floods. I know some of you
have had experience with floods large and small. Mine thankfully have been small. 3 times in the last year my Sump has not been able to keep up with the rain water that has been falling. I replaced the old one with a 1/3hp pedestal one and it happened again. I lost the carpet and a foot of drywall to this flood luckily my furniture is fine with no major damage. No i am faced with redoing my basement again. I am not doing it until I have figured out the root cause which my theory is the grading of the lot and get a industrial sump pump. What is a good sump pump that handles a highly active well? How many Hp would you recommend? When regrading the lawn what is the best soil to use? When I refinish the basement what flooring is most resistant to flood damage? Vinyl, laminate, Hardwood, Tile or carpet? |
