Battery Backup Sump Pumps
Storms that bring heavy rain often bring power outages too. A battery backup pump has its own power and a controller that alerts you. We install it alongside your main pump in the same basin or a second one, and explain how to test it and when the battery needs replacing.

Common questions
How long does the battery run?
It depends on how often the pump runs and the battery. We explain it for your system.
Do I need a second basin?
Often not. We can usually add the backup pump to the existing basin.
How often should I test?
A quick test every few months is a good habit, and we show you how.
