Signs that indicate your sump pump may need to be replaced or upgraded for better performance in your basement include frequent cycling, strange noises during operation, visible rust or corrosion, constantly running motor, and age of the pump exceeding 10 years.

An overhead sewer system can help prevent basement flooding during heavy rainfall or sewer backups by raising the level of the sewer pipes above the basement floor. This prevents sewage from backing up into the basement, as gravity allows the sewage to flow out of the basement through the elevated pipes.
