Re: Easements question Any of my friends homes that has a sump pump in it, has water problems. It may be possible for someone to have a sump pump without ever having had a water problem, but I've never met an individual that set up a pump that didn't have a pre-existing water problem. -- Congress could mess up a one piece jigsaw puzzle. |

Where I live every house I know of has a sump pump. Here that does not imply water problems, it is just the standard construction practice. It may be driven by local building codes, but I am not sure about that. Clearly this varies by area. |

The first house I bought didn't and had a flooded basement within a year (but that was a heavy rain/combined storm-sanitary sewer issue). All of the houses I've owned since have had sump pumps and at least partially finished basements with no water issues at all. The pump in the house I'm now in runs VERY occasionally, the pit rarely even gets water in it. |
