Only a sump pump is effective because it pumps out gallons per hour. Even with the cheapest sump pump, it would probably only take about 1 hour to clear out our basement. I don't think it makes sense to try to buy a sump pump from a local store since everybody probably is trying to get their hands on one right now and only the shitty ones are left.
