One of the most important appliances in your basement or crawl space is a Battery Backup Sump Pump. We are in the season of frequent rainstorms that can cause basements and crawl spaces to flood. Most homeowners understand that they need a Sump Pump (Primary Sump Pump) to protect against groundwater in a basement and or crawl space. The primary sump pump operates on electrical power. When the power is not available due to outages, the sump pump will not work without an alternative power source such as battery backup.
A sump pump is a submersible electric pump that is installed in hole beneath your basement and or crawl space floor (Sump Pit). The pit is typically located at the lowest corner of the basement or crawlspace. When the water level rises in the hole (Sump Pit), the pump automatically turn on and pumps the water out of the basement or crawl space. Sump pumps cannot operate without electricity. Storms, blackouts, and other circumstance can cause power outages. A battery-backup sump pump can ensure that your sump pump continues to operate even when the power goes out.
A homeowner can have peace of mind knowing that their valuable storage and property are protected against water damage. Time and money are also a factor: it is not spent in the cleanup of water damaged materials and property.
A storm can interrupt power and cause your primary sump pump to stop working when you need it the most. Is it worth it? Insurance companies report that a flooded basement can cost over $30,000 to $50,000 in restoration.
Homeowners should have a Secondary Backup Sump System. When you primary sump pump stops working one day, you can be rest assured that your backup pumping sytem will continue to pump.
