WAYNE Water Systems Advises Homeowners to Prepare for Winter Storm Flooding and Nor'Easters
HARRISON, Ohio, Dec. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- There is nothing like a Nor'easter, those drenching storms that swirl inland and hang around for days, to make homeowners wonder if their homes are fully protected. According to home flood protection experts at WAYNE Water Systems, there are new ways to prepare and keep your home safe from the unpredictable winter storm cycle.
"The first line of defense in your basement is a high quality, reliable sump pump," said Duane Johnson, President. "In the Northeast for example, it can be in the 40s one day and snowing the next, creating continuous freezing and melt off. Add heavy rains from a Nor'easter and it can be devastating to your home and property." Johnson says there are new technologies that not only protect your home by moving water away from it, but that also alert homeowners to problems.
In addition to float sump pumps, WAYNE has developed technologies that alert homeowners to basement conditions such as rising water levels. WAYNE's Sump Minder is an alert system that actually calls up to three landline phone numbers with basement status updates--and kicks in a battery back-up sump pump in case of power loss. AdvanTEXT is another alert system that is cellular based, providing a similar status information to the homeowner through a series of text messages.
Gabe Osborn, a homeowner in Toledo, Ohio, recently won a WAYNE Sump Minder system in a This Old House Magazine giveaway and looks forward to the peace of mind—and no more bailing. He learned that his five year-old home was built over an underground spring in a neighborhood prone to power outages.
"During an ice storm in 2011, we were without power for 48 hours and spent five hours bailing water to prevent the basement from flooding," said Osborn. "We're thrilled to be adding a Wayne Sump Minder System to our home. Now, even when Mother Nature wreaks havoc or the power goes out, our basement will be safe from flooding. And the added feature of being alerted to any issues with our sump pump while we are away from home? Priceless."
WAYNE Pump products are available at home centers nationwide. Learn more at www.waynepumps.com.
