Whether you've spent thousands of dollars finishing your basement or simply use it for storage, water damage and basement flooding is a devastating and costly occurrence. Water can flood the basement when your sump pump breaks, when the electricity fails, or when torrential rains overload your pump beyond its pumping capacity.

You can provide added protection for your home by having Ed Young’s Plumbing Service install an emergency sump pump system, so your pumping power is never interrupted. But a backup system with a dead battery, loose cables, or a clogged pump, is like having no backup system at all. How do you know if there is a problem?

 The Basement Watchdog backup sump pumps have unique monitoring systems that sound an alarm when maintenance is needed or when a problem arises, They switch automatically to battery current when power fails, and pump along with your main pump when there is more water coming into your sump than your main pump can handle.

 Why do you need a battery backup sump pump?

 A backup sump pump provides added protection for your home so your pumping power is never interrupted.  It switches automatically to battery current when power fails or your main pump breaks, and pumps along with your main pump when there is more water coming into your sump than your main pump can handle

 Why do you need a Basement Watchdog System?

 Most backup systems fail because the battery is dead and you don't know it.  Basement Watchdog systems are the only ones that monitor the battery, power conditions and pump, then sound an alarm when maintenance is needed.
