Blue Angel Backup Sump Pumps
We recommend and install Blue Angel backup sump pumps. Having a backup sump pump is a good idea if you have a finished basement. The Blue Angel backup pump is designed to protect your basement from flooding even if the power goes out. The battery that comes with the unit will power the pump for a full 8 hours.
This system also comes with a battery charger that will keep your battery charged up for when you need it. There is also an indicator on the unit that will let you know if your battery needs to be replaced.
The Blue Angel system also comes with an additional pump, float, and switch. The most common reason that basements flood is not from a power outage, it’s due to sump pump failure. That is why it is so important to install a high quality primary sump pump.

ZOELLER WATER POWERED BACKUP SUMP PUMPS
A water powered backup sump pump has both advantages and disadvantages to a traditional battery powered backup pump. The biggest reason that we like installing water powered backup sump pumps is that there is almost no maintenance once the unit is installed. I have seen many flooded basements that had a battery backup sump pump installed but the unit had failed because the battery was dead.
It’s important to consider that if you install a water powered backup sump pump you must also install an RPZ backflow preventer. If a backflow device is not installed you run the risk of contaminating your homes drinking water. This type of backup sump pump must be installed by a licensed plumber.
