I've had (2) contractors recommendations that are far apart. One recommends an (8) gal basin with a 1/3 HP pump. The other contractor recommends a (35) gal basin with a 1/2 HP pump.
The sump will be located next to the outer wall & have about 10ft of 2" piping total & (4) elbows (90 deg). I get flooded maybe 2X/year and only if I get more than 2 1/2" of rain. I don't know the flooding rate in my basement but, I believe it is less than (5) gal/min. Which contractor is more correct ? I don't want to "overkill" with the solution.
Also what would be a fair quote range for the complete job for a Chicago suburb ?
