Would also like to know about either a generator solution (as per Beth's request) or perhaps a battery (or better yet, solar) powered sump pump. Between the infamous Patriot's Day Storm and last weekend's ice storm, I bailed over 1,000 gallons of water out of my cellar one bucket at a time. You know the old saying, "fool me once…, etc."?I will surely be the fool if I don't have an alternate plan in place for the next outage.
