I got to thinking, if an EMP or any long term grid down scenario occurs basements will be worthless if you can't pump the water out. Think about how much your pump runs in a heavy spring or summer rain. How do you overcome that? A hand barrel / drum pump?? I think this is something many overlook.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76519973 Uhhhhhhhhhh . . . the majority of homes do not get flooding in their basements. That's because they have sump pumps retard. If the pumps don't run they flood. The only way is if you live on a hill. FFS you're retarded. LOL most newer homes (as in 30 years or newer) have walk-out basements and are built on the side of an incline. Their basements are dry even in heavy rains. I only ever had one house that had a sump pump that ran. the other 8 - nope. Plus a lot of them don't even have basements, but are on slabs or crawl spaces. Where do you live that you have such a wet basement? Only the old houses with standard basements seem to have wet basement issues anymore.
