Hello,

Firstly everyone merry xmas & best wishes for a very happy new year.

I'm hoping someone can help me regarding questions about water pumps.

We've has a bit of disaster as after heavy rain, one of our basement rooms has flooded.

After some investigation from a local builder, we've found that there is standing water next to our home's foundation, which has over time seeped under the stones and entered the room.

Unfortunately there is no way of diverting this water away from the property as the ground level and level of drains are much higher and the standing water is approx 6 feet lower.

My builder has suggested the only option is to pump the water out with a "water transfer pump".

He's gone on a family holiday and has said whilst he's away, that I look into these water pumps and decide what type/make I want to fit and hopefully when he's back, he'll attempt to fit it in.

I would really appreciate your help in answering my questions.
  • Is there such a water pump that:
    • can be installed inside the property, but the inlet pipe can be fed down into the trench outside?
    • is triggered automatically to start pumping on detection of water.

Thank you
