Come on you tool lovers out there. Has anyone heard of the device I described on the subject line? Anything close?

    Haha! I forgot about those uses too! We live in the desert now but I grew up in grass and swamplands. Haven’t had to think of a sump pump or dry-lok in forever. Very, very important alarm need if you want to keep things, that aren’t moldy. Oh the memories. We started our first grow in a moldy basement!

      Here’s hoping you were spared the blackout during torrential rains.

      And I suppose this is on me, but we bought this place which met all our dream features and when we heard it had a sump pump… having grown up in a desert myself, I didn’t exactly understand the ramifications.

      I’m a bit stunned there isn’t a simple device that has a small battery in it that remains charged until it needs to scare you out of bed.

      I learned in this thread about “smart plugs” which seem like they could be purposed to this task but even that’s not spot on.
