    Water Flood in House Basement Advice?

    Someone mentioned the everbilt is not a real sump pump. This vevor is a real sump pump. Anyone have experience with the vevor?

    Water Flood in House Basement Advice?

    What's the difference between the everbilt vs the vevor pump? We have the everbilt pump. We are going to buy the vevor pump which seems to have very good reviews? We were told by neighbors that they use a vevor pump and it was very good. We want to install it exactly where the everbilt pump...

    Water Flood in House Basement Advice?

    So they had the same person do that thing that I mentioned earlier. They now want to buy this as the last thing. Does anyone have any experience with the vevor 1.5 hp submersible cast iron and steel sump pump? Is this much better than the current sump pump we have which is the Everbilt 1/4...

    Water Flood in House Basement Advice?

    Okay so I made a mistake with the name of that first job $200 hp 1/3 drummond sump pump which I thought it was. That wasn't the machine in the picture. The name of it is Everbilt 1/4 hp submersible pool cover pump. But does that matter that much? It cost $200 and few hundred dollars for that...

    Water Flood in House Basement Advice?

    What do you mean explain how the system works? You mean the two things that were installed, the drummond sump pump and then $1600 thing later on? Or you mean how everything works? They did a 3rd job not long ago where I mentioned in my previous post and that person seems pretty confident it...

    Water Flood in House Basement Advice?

    It's sewer and not septic. I think that's the one. However, it isn't that color. It seems to be black and as opposes to green? They said it cost $190. Strange thing is I remember the box was green like the one in the picture but the actual thing is black? I have no idea what was done here...

    Water Flood in House Basement Advice?

    Someone else said the job he would do should cost around 3k and not 5k. But you say 5k is about right? But would you recommend it? So all the other details I gave make sense? At the moment, my parents spoke to the same guy who did the 1st 2 jobs and said he can fix everything now and he...

    Water Flood in House Basement Advice?

    That new person said the job would cost 5k. He didn't want to bother with giving details on it. He just sent that last photo of what he will be installing and that is all. He said he would do this job himself and it takes 2-3 days. So what you say is exactly what he is doing then? He didn't...

    Water Flood in House Basement Advice?

    1. I'am pretty certain it is sewer. 2. The name of that cone shaped pump is called Drummond Submerisible Sump-Effluent Pump. So it isn't a sump pump then? That cost under $200. That whole job cost $400-$500 total. 3. The $1600 sump pump that was installed by that guy in the 2nd job...

    The other thing is that guy said for 5k, he said it would take him 2-3 days for him to do all this. So does that give you a clue to what this might be? He said he would be doing this whole job by himself.

    Water Flood in House Basement Advice?

    1. I am pretty sure the house is in a sewage system and not a septic line. How do I know for sure? 2. That person installed the under $200 Drummond Sump Pump and it's in picture 1. It's also in picture 2 and few others as we moved it to the side. My parents paid that and the installation...

    Water Flood in House Basement Advice?

    We don't have a backyard. It's more like a driveway and there is like a parking spot. So I can post those pictures. But you want me to post only the back of the house? The thing is that room with all those things in the pictures, that room is near the front of the house in the basement. The...

    Water Flood in House Basement Advice?

    So you want pictures of the outside then? But where exactly? If I open the door to the outside from the basement, where do you want me to take pictures from? Like the front of the basement door? Rain is happening outside the house and then entering. But it's entering through the where...

    Water Flood in House Basement Advice?

    What do you mean of the outside and the other things? I am not sure what you mean by that? This is inside a room in the basement where the water comes from when flooding occurs. So when you open the room, these are the photos I took.

    Water Flood in House Basement Advice?

    Here are the pictures of that room in the basement that has that Drummond Submerisible Sump-Effluent Pump put in. Is it installed correctly based on the picture? In the first 5 pictures, that is how it looks. In some of those 5 pictures, I put the Drummond Submerisible Sump-Effluent Pump to...

    Water Flood in House Basement Advice?

    I don't know much about houses and fixtures but can someone here tell me what the problem is and is there a way to solve this issue? At first, we were told just buy that under $200 machine sump pump and pay extra to have a person install it and have it on 24/7 and anytime a lot of rain come and...

    Water Flood in House Basement Advice?

    We are in a house where we have a basement. This is at my parent's house and when they have to take care of house issues, they usually ask the same 1 or 2 persons to do the work if necessary. Several times in the last few years, there was heavy rain where water flooded our basement. Each time...
