Sump Pumps
Hill Country Rain Arrives All at Once
This region does not get steady rain — it gets months of dry followed by several inches in an afternoon. Hard ground sheds most of it, which is why flash flooding is a Hill Country speciality and why low-lying crawl spaces, basements and equipment pits fill fast.
A sump pump only matters on the day it runs, and the failure mode that catches people is the power going out in the same storm that caused the water. Battery backup is what turns a pump into actual protection.
