We badly need a sump pump. Maybe two, but definitely one where the water
pools every spring.

warily eyeing the melting snow

How hard is it to install a sump pump? Is that a job for a pro, or can I do
it with power tools? We have a fieldstone basement, with a cement floor.
There is no well yet, just a low spot that collects water.

Any and all advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

IMHO,

Installing a sump pump can be done by average handy people. However,
this is very conditional. Depends on your situation, and since sump
pumps are a small part of a larger 'dry basement' solution, you should
have an 'expert' evaluate your situation. Please verify they are
'experts' first.
