What is a Battery Back-Up Sump Pump?
As a vital part of a home’s basement waterproofing system, a battery backup sump pump plays a critical role when the primary pump system becomes overwhelmed. That backup equipment provides the necessary supplemental assistance for the primary sump pump if it loses power, experiences a mechanical malfunction, or is exposed to excessive use.
Furthermore, the backup appliance comes online, providing extra pumping power if the primary pump fails to remove water as it rises in the pit. That additional assistance helps reduce any potential water damage a home may sustain while directing water away from its foundation.

Top Reasons You Need a Battery Back-Up Sump Pump
There are numerous reasons homes with a basement or crawlspace need a battery back-up sump pump system installed. More and more homeowners have discovered that these innovative backup pump systems are extra insurance protection for their homes against water damage. Here are the top reasons to help you understand why you’ll want a battery back-up sump pump for your residence.
Power Outages
The most common cause of power outages in Cleveland and surrounding communities is our bad weather. We all know that high winds, soaking rains, heavy snow, and thick ice will topple trees and limbs, breaking off, falling, and knocking down power lines. That is why you need to have a battery back-up sump pump installed.
Mechanical Failure
A primary sump pump, over 7-10 years, will experience some type of mechanical failure, and when you least expect it. It could be due to poor installation, sizing, debris buildup, increased run time, or float switch problems. In any event, your backup pump will come online and produce an audible alarm sound notifying you of the failure.
Overworked Primary Pump
When the primary sump pump becomes overwhelmed, the equipment might be the wrong size unit or during torrential downpours. Though it is pumping, the water table may rise faster than it can pump water out of a basement. The battery back-up pump comes online and begins increasing the speed and the volume of water getting discharged.
Water Damage Protection
A flooded basement can cost tens of thousands of dollars to fix, especially when there’s an existing finished basement. A battery, backup sump pump system gives a homeowner another economical option to reduce water damage and avoid filing a claim with their homeowners’ insurance provider. That backup system removes a potential financial hardship.
Skipped Maintenance
It is very common that primary sump pumps lack proper inspection, cleaning, and annual maintenance during their service life. That oversight mostly leads to a system malfunction and eventual failure. With an installed battery backup sump pump system, the home still has excess water removal capabilities if the primary pump fails.
