Indoor flood control
We had the cold-water hose to our washing machine split and run out all
night. Flooded the adjacent room - an old carport converted into additional room with concrete slab floor and carpet. The wash room has the washing machine and water heater. I'm concerned about a similar thing happening again, or something happening with the water heater. If I could get a small pump that would sit on the floor and tube into the elevated washing machine drain, and if it could sense water and automatically turn on, then I would be ahead of the game maybe. Assume I would put some kind of rim there so water would stay in a pool. Any suggestions about size of pump, type of pump, possible vender, etc.? Any other suggestions? Home Depot has nothing like that short of a sump pump, which doesn't look practical. My dreams are becoming unpleasant. Thanks, Bruce Kimball from Louisville |
