Sump pumps stop working when the power goes out, unless you have a home generator. A-Archer Sewer & Plumbing Service  highly recommend having a backup pump system installed in case of an emergency to help prevent flooding. There are a few different systems available.  Each has a place and time to use. When you call A-Archer Sewer & Plumbing Service we will determine what system would work best for your situation.

First there is a battery backup pump that uses a DC pump. The model that A-Archer Sewer & Plumbing recommends is the PHCC 2400 system.

back up pump

Another popular system is a water powered sump pump.  A-Archer Sewer & Plumbing service does not recommend this type of backup pump due to the waste of water and potential of causing a flood if the pump breaks.  Most municipales codes will not allow these to be installed as well.
