sump pumps

[tattoobob]

First off if you have gutters make sure the down spouts drain away from the foundation, If you don't have gutters you may want to get them installed

the best place for a sump pump to drain is to you nearest storm drain in the street.

as for how much it will cost I suggest you get some estimates

Same set up here. It works great until you go away for a few days and the pump starts working but the pipe is frozen and buried under snow.

Jim, if you need some of the pipe to run underground away from the house, I have some for you.

FB, if you have sewers and a slop sink run the hose into it during the winter.
