Heres a nice little plate I picked up a while ago.

A pic from the right side, you can see how they had to cut 30" up from the floor to make sure the basement would dry

Looking good, at least you had the aluminium studs, imagine wood ones getting wet and rotting would have made for a lot more of a mess.

I never noticed the carpet gone either, was it flood damage or you had to pawn it off to feed the KID lol. Now you should just tile the floor so next time when u flood the floor its easier to dry

Next time??? Trust me, there won't be a next time. I've added a second sump pump, and have saw cut the floor with an emergency overflow to my floor drain, incase of power failure. This will not happen again, trust me. Once is bad enough.

I meant when u do what we all regularly do start filling the sump and walk away . I know what u mean how much it sucks we experience it last spring but we had to move the tank amidst the flood so it really sucked. Its just didnt cause as much damage none i can see other than all out door frames took on water and don't close anymore

You meant tank floods? Oh ya, hell there will be lots of those. Those keep life interesting, and that special bond between husband and wife strong.

Husband and wife ?

So have you decided what equipment yet,

power heads and controller are you going with pellets or zeo, or just going fish only for now

They say that with the aluminum track it actually causes more damage, because of the ability for the water to travel faster once it gets inside the track. I have no idea if it's true or not, but it does make some sense.
