Basement Watchdog Sump Pump Water Alarm

Jim's Recommendation

If you live in an area with a basement and you lose power, usually your first thought is about your basement flooding. Your sump pit is probably located in your basement or crawl space. The good part about that is you don't have to hear it when it runs. The bad part is that you'll usually find out too late if it doesn't work. When I say too late I mean, after the sump pit is overflowing.

There's a simple and inexpensive solution to that problem, a Water Alarm.

For under $20, you can purchase a device that will detect water where it's not supposed to be.

Most of these devices have a loud audible alarm that you can hear even from the 2nd floor of your home.

In my opinion, an hour of lost sleep is better than waking up to 3 inches of water in your basement.
