Cazenovia, NY flooding during power outages

Before

After

Peter's home in Cazenovia, NY had a wet basement problem. Peter already had s sump pump but it didn't stop the water from spilling across the basement floor. He created a dam system to push the water towards the sump pump and that seemed to help. But in the back of his mind, he knew he need a more permanent solution. What Peter really wanted was a more powerful sump and a backup system. Where his house is in Cazenovia power sometimes goes out. And every time it rained the power went out. That meant his sump would stop and his basement would flood. After a little digging online Peter found out about our triple safe system that included a battery backup. He knew that was the answer he was looking for. Now Peter doesn't have to worry about the power going out.
