When my basement flooded back in September, we ended up setting up a
siphon. I put a five gallon bucket up on a table, ran a hose from the
bucket out the window, and kept that five gallon bucket filled by baling
from the floor to the bucket. It was a lot of work but we were doing
about 2.5
I am fermiliar with sump pumps and basically how they work but I don't know
any thing about the out put side, do they usually just run a pipe out the
wall?
As I was reading Scott's post about this I had a thought. Why couldn't a
line be run from the sump basket up the wall and out and then hook up
What I did, Dug a hole to the back of the lot and put in a 3 inch perforated
plastic flexible pipe. I only went about a foot down and I am in a cold region
where the temperature drops to below -0 F.

we got flooded here twice yesterday. First time it was the common for 3
houses. The second time, I was thinking it was the same, but was (what
turned out to be) a wig sized clump of mud/grass/eck in the vertical at
the base of the driveway
Yeah, I know some folks who have done this and in most areas it isn't
legal at all. Your also right that it could cause more harm than
good. grin
