plan to use it for basement that floods from too much rain and water back up from sewer

That depends on how high you plan on discharging as it won't pump from the floor lets say out a basement window to much lift for this pump

I love it! Wore out the first one and now using the second one. Both have performed very well in basements and fish ponds.

Hi Nicole: Pumps 10 gallons/minute. Effective in that range. We have had several over the years and are quite satisfied. Pump turns on when submerged so we dug a hole for the pump to sit below the incoming water, leaving only minimum amounts on the floor. :-) Bob & Mary

The Little Giant will be perfect for that kind of situation just remember you need a good Quality water hose.

I don"t know. I put it in the basement for this hard awful winter we have had. (northeast). I know with heavy rain it didn't have any problem. Sorry i can't help more.

Yes if you want support for the structure and to keep items dry if it rains.

The pump will suck down to about an 1/8 of an inch in my experience. I've used this pump in a rental property when the main sewer line backed up and put about a foot of water in the basement - it took a while but it cleared it out.Also used it when minor flooding happened in June and I had a few inches of water in my own basement. This pump has been worth the cost and it has performed very well.

Yeah, I would think it should work pretty good for that. You might need to pour water in it at the same time to help break it loose. My sewer line was clogged with egg shells about 20' down. I had to give it a good push but it broke through and haven't had a problem since. A gutter clog should be similar. That's a great idea. I'll have to remember that one!Edit: I just reread your question. Dirt underground...it might work depending on how much dirt is down there. It has an auger type bit on it so I would think it's definitely worth a shot. Just run lots of water down at the same time. Good luck! Yeah, I would think it should work pretty good for that.

it would make your basement exposed to the outside weather elements if you took out the window

You'd be better off getting some outdoor caulk for that. This stuff expands and is for pond waterfalls.

I have a small hose attached to the back which goes into the basement drain

I use mine in the finished basement. I have had no issues with it.Sorry I can't help you with your concern.

It is a float switch, and did work sucessfully when the Metro Detroit area got a record rainfall in August 2014We got 5 inches of rain in an hour, the pump ran, and ran, to keep our basement dry

I don't think that would be possible. There are plenty of aereating(?sp)holes on bin to let water run off. We had some heavy rain and I didn't have any problems with it.

You wanna use this outside to prevent water from coming inside your house,basement or garage. It becomes like a barrier

It requires this drain for condensation and for extra runoff in the event of improper settings for humidity levels

Just make sure the barrel is "mostly" empty. Otherwise water could freese and expand and crack your barrel. I reroute the water to a corrugated plasitic pipe underground that daylights away from the foundation.

I only have mine as a bk-up for my other 2! I live in a flood zone. If you were monitoring it and it wasn't raining I suppose you could...why don't you CALL the manufacturer...then you'll know for sure!

You want to check out what they call a "grinder pump" for sewage systems. I'm using one in my garage that will handle up to 2". I bought a couple of Wayne EE980 submersible to pump clear water seepage from my basement sumps, which they work good for that.

Rain will leak from the seams. We had a heavy rainstorm outside, and a small one inside.
