Does anyone, as a standard, recommend installation of a high water alarm to back-up the pump or discharge lines associated with the sump pit?

I don't put it in my report. But during the inspection I do explain to the client what they are, how they work and why I have one in my house.

I recommend battery back up sump pumps to paranoid clients. You're not gonna hear a high water alarm if you're not home.

Only if the area has a water problem and then verbally to clients that ask or seem to be worried.

I dont put it in my report either but it can be recommended if the situation is apparent. By the way I am a licensed plumber and there is a difference in a sewage injector pump and a sump pump. He was correct in calling it a sump pump.
