A Water-Powered Back-up Sump Pump for Your Germantown Home.

A battery-powered back-up sump is no match for water-powered.  Especially during prolonged periods of rain and basement flooding.

Hurricane Sandy has come and gone and, if you’re like many Southern Maryland homeowners, a  wet or flooded basement might be your most lingering memory…and biggest headache.  Water under the bridge?  Not really.  Because if it floods once, it can flood again and probably will.

A Case for Water-Powered Back-up Sump Pumps.

A sump pump is your first line of defense again encroaching water.  But main sump pumps are electrically operated, so once the power goes out, the pump stops working.

That’s why it’s smart to have a back-up sump pump.  And the better choice is water-powered vs. a battery-powered. 

Why is that?  Even under the heaviest rainfalls and worst storm conditions, a water-powered sump pump is a solid defense against flood damage in your home. With the ability to remove up to 1,324 gallons of water per hour, these are the only pumps that are compatible with your ¾” municipal water supply pipes.

A water-powered sump pump requires no battery, no power, and has no moving parts. As long as you still can get water from your municipality or well, the water powered sump pump will operate for as long as it needs to.

Added Protection.

Any sump pump – regular or back-up – is going to help remove water from your home and, in the process, lessen the chance – and extent – of resulting water damage.  So when deciding which type or combination of sump pumps to purchase, it’s kind of like choosing the right combination of coverage options for your auto insurance policy.  No matter which you choose, you’ll have coverage.  But the question is “how much?”

Well, from our experience, the best possible combination for protecting your home is a regular and water-powered back-up sump pump working together to keep your basement dry, and your valuables and furnishings free from damage or ruin.
