Has your basement flooded lately?? Do you still feel confident in your 5-15 year old sump pump in your $$ expensive$$ finished basement?
Do you have a finished basement and are looking for a high quality, heavy, heavy duty battery backup sump pump to protect your investment for years and years down the road?
We sell the very best --- ONLY. Honestly, we have tried all those "inexpensive " battery back up brands and they all failed us, some brands actually failed in less than one year!. We have also installed the water operated brands, only to see them fail in a year or two.
Many brands claim to be "just as good" as the Aquanot II but "inexpensive". We have taken out literally dozens of those "inexpensive" units from flooded basements over the past 20 years.
You really get what you pay for when it comes to battery operated back up sump pumps, and you really get to "personally feel the pain" when they fail you too.
All this trouble and aggravation can be avoided.. by simply getting the very best one you can buy for your finished basement.. THE VERY FIRST TIME..

Zoeller Aquanot II heavy duty battery operated sump pump -- the best you can buy.
http://411plumb.com/zoeller-aquanot-sump-pump-review
this unit is more than heavy duty enough to be installed in small commercial office buildings.. and we have done it.. http://www.zoeller.com/zcopump/products/backupsystems/aquanot.htm
this unit comes with a year warranty on labor and a three year warranty on parts...
No brand is completely fool proof or maintaince free, but with a heavy duty maintaince free marine battery, our unit is as close as you can get.
Every brand of back up pumps should be given bi-monthly exercise to see if they are working properly .
Back up pumps should never be completely ignored for years and then expected to 'spring to life " and "run a marathon" in an emergency.
Here are pictures of the "Sump Pro" brand that must have water added to the marine battery every few months..... of course no one remembers to do this task and eventually the battery goes dry and shorts out.
Here are some before and after pictures of one minor disaster , the carpet was lost, but the water lever never rose high enough to damage the drywall... #1
Notice the hair line crack in this wimpy Wayne back up pump that was supposed to protect his basement .
Can you see the difference between a good quality pump and a poor quality one ???
All the inexpensive brands pump far, far less than the Aquanot and simply cant even hope to keep up in a massive downpour even when they do work properly--- but they were "inexpensive".
The odds are , you have something very similar to that wimpy pump . The pump probably has been ignored , it has never been serviced in years and never checked lately to see if it actually still pumps water or if the marine battery is still good.
Now all you got to do is ask yourself
"do I feel lucky??"
