If the power goes out, obviously my sump pump won't work and that's ok with me, but considering I also have a humidifier putting water into the drain hole and the potential for it to fail or get clogged always exists (in fact, a neighbor's pump just backed into their basement this morning), what I want is something that hangs over the edge of the hole above the water level at which the sump pump kicks in, and then if water gets to a particular level an audbile alarm will go off. Think of it as a smoke alarm but for water height. There's no way something like this could be expensive.
