Sump Pump Battery Backup

Sump pump battery backup is important because most sump pumps are run on electricity. Electricity is not always guaranteed to be working, especially during heavy thunder and electrical storms.

A battery back up sump pump should have a signal that “chirps” at you when the battery is running low or there is a problem that needs your attention. This is your signal to check your pump and the battery backup sump pump. Make sure your system isn’t clogged and that the battery was properly plugged in so it could charge.

Even with a good sump pump battery backup, you are only winning half the battle against the water in your basement. Without a proper system to get the water to the pump, the sump pump can’t remove water from all areas of the basement.

For starters, the sump pump and battery back up sump pump need to be in the lowest area of your basement so that the water can flow to the pump. Also you will need a system to discharge the water away from your home and it’s foundation. You will also need to be mindful of the grade of your property as well as your neighbors. Nothing could be worse than to have your neighbor beating down your door in the middle of the night because your discharge system has flooded their yard and/or basement. This will definitely disqualify you from the “neighbor of the year” award, as well as permanently disinvite you from any neighborhood gatherings.

The best way to determine the correct system and sump pump battery backup for your home is to have a waterproofing professional inspect your home. A professional will evaluate your basement and foundation so they can design and install a system that is right for you.
