pump question

I just set my sump up today, and was just wondering...if your pump stops working, isnt your tank basically gone? How long do pumps last and do you have to replace them every few years or something? This is kind of scaring me.

Put a check valve on it so that the water can only move upwards, that way if pump fails or power goes out, the water cannot drain your whole tank.
