Back-up Sump Pump
Reliable Backup Sump Pump Services in the Western Suburbs
Residential Plumbing, Inc. offers backup sump pump installation for added protection against basement flooding. Trust us for peace of mind during heavy rainfall or pump failures.
Enhance Protection With Our Top-Notch Backup Sump Pumps
In most cases, your primary sump pump offers excellent protection from water damage, minimizing concerns about basement flooding. However, occasional failures may occur. That's where Residential Plumbing, Inc.’s backup sump pump service comes in. Installing a battery backup sump pump provides an additional layer of security, ensuring your basement remains safe even if the primary pump malfunctions or during heavy rainfall.
How Do Backup Sump Pumps Function?
Our backup pumps are installed in the same pit as the primary one, eliminating the need for extra excavation. Equipped with sensors set higher than the primary pump's, they only activate if needed. Once water levels recede, the sensor deactivates the backup pump, preserving the battery's longevity.
Key Benefits of Backup Sump Pumps:
Affordable and quick installation process
Enhanced protection against water damage for your home
Operates during power outages, relying on battery power, unlike primary pumps
Alleviates stress on the primary pump during high water levels
Some models feature alarms to alert homeowners when the backup is in use or if issues arise, enabling prompt action
Our Recommendations for Back-Up Sump Pumps
We offer several choices of battery back-up pumps with various ways to customize them, including wet cell batteries, AGM maintenance-free batteries, different controller options (including WiFi enabled controllers), and more.
Do I Need a Backup Sump Pump?
Even if your primary sump pump functions perfectly, having a backup system is crucial as primary pumps rely on electricity and are rendered useless during power outages. Since outages often occur during heavy storms, a working sump pump is essential for safeguarding your basement.
