I live in an antique colonial built on the highest ground for several miles but I am still having to pump out the cellar. Thankfully, I installed a barn drain many years ago or I would have an indoor swimming pool where I don't need it.

Management threatened to send excess flow, after a storm, into the tank. I countered with a contract adjustment that would have doubled the price.
