The joys of home ownership include unexpected events.  In our case, two sump pumps failing within 24 hours of each other.  We have 2, one is the normal sump pump for draining the basement foundation as needed (which isn't often) and the other is dedicated to our basement washing machine/sink combo to push up the drain water to the main drain line.  When you have as many furry critters as we have, having a washer/dryer set dedicated to their beds, towels, blankets, etc. is more than just a nice to have.The good news?  I learned a thing or two about pumps and motors back in my Navy days, and from an engineering perspective they're not overly complicated:  motor, pump/impeller, float switch, piping, electricity. Is anything stuck?  Piping clogged?  Power available?  Motor running?  Impelle...
