BACKUP
Definition : backup, n 1: an accumulation caused by clogging or a stoppage; "a traffic backup on the main street"; a reserve or substitute.
A backup sump-pump is a reserve sump-pump in the event of a sump-pump failure.
A backup sump-pump is good when the primary sump-pump burns up in the middle of the night while it is storming outside.
If the backup sump-pump is in place and operational, then one will not wake up to 1.5 inches of water in the basement.
On the other hand, if the backup sump-pump is sitting on a shelf in the garage, question who could have left the backup sump-pump on the shelf.
Just a thought for the day, in my second pair of wet socks.
Any volunteers??

Hmm - sounds like a small misjudgement on someones part. _ I know You - of all people - have it figured out by now - good luck. BTW a dehunmidifier would be a good addition about now too...
ReplyDeleteThe duhumidifier is working overtime. I need to gather some blowers and heaters to dry the rest of the floor and the Lego blocks that were floating by.
