What happens here

The final step involves installing a sump pump kit, ideally a battery-backed-up primary and backup system, into the sump basket. Even a 1/3 horsepower pump can handle a significant volume of water (3,600 gallons per hour), which is typically more than enough for most basements during heavy rain. The pump is hard-plumbed up and out of the house. The battery backup is crucial as it ensures the pump continues to operate during power outages (e.g., from lightning strikes), preventing basement flooding.

Goal: Provide continuous water removal from the drain tile system, even during power outages.
