What sorts of things do you store or allow to be stored in your basement? Any old thing, or are you more selective? Well, you have the usual items like luggage, washer & dryer, seasonal decorations, tools, work bench, and so on.
But what about rain water…do you allow that in your basement? The truth is, it’s not always your choice.
For one thing, rain water is not always that easy to remove. Still, you are not without options for removing it as fast as it comes in.
It all starts with a main backup sump pump. And yet, as effective as they can be, they operate on electricity. When the power goes out, the pump shuts down, just as it can from a mechanical problem.
What’s the answer? A backup sump pump professionally installed and maintained by Messmer Mechanical. While there are two types – water- and battery-powered – our customers greatly prefer water-powered.
Here’s why:
- Takes over seamlessly when your primary sump pump fails for any reason
- No electricity required
- No battery to charge
- On guard 24 hours a day
- Works indefinitely
- Can pump out 1,000 gallons of water per hour
- Maintenance free
- Can be used with any existing brand of sump pump
Whichever model you choose, a backup pump will provide added protection against water damage to your home and valuable possessions. It also helps put the brakes on mold and mildew. Contact us today for a free in-home proposal along with answers to all your questions.
