The sump pump is dead!

What on earth is a sump pump? Where would you go about finding one? Your 64, looking into the face of retirement and stuff starts falling apart. Its not like the piano broke. Without a sump pump you stand the chance of your basement flooding. To have a sump pump you have to have a sump. That's like a collection hole for water you don't want. Who pays any attention to these things until they grind to a halt? My neighbor now has to learn all thing about a sump pump. The choices, and decisions have got to be made immediately. The average good sump pump runs around $170. But in the event it goes out a back up system is recommended. That's another $170. You can get one that doesn't operate on electricity but the new one could break. You can install it yourself, but at 64 who would? Contract the job out, double the price. I wonder if we have a sump pump?
