Be Proactive in Elkhart with a Sump Pump Battery Backup

Your sump pump is one of those things you may not think about until you need it—then you expect that it’s operating as it should. Some homes with basements or crawl spaces are guarded from ground water damage by a network of drainage pipes around the foundation. The pipes direct water into a shallow pit, or sump, where a sump pump pushes the water out and away from the house through a discharge pipe. A damaged or broken pump can quickly allow water to overflow the sump and ruin your basement.

Although relatively simple, a sump pump is one of the most essential and neglected disaster prevention devices in a home. Sump pumps work regularlyl each time water fills the sump, making them easy to forget about. While usually very reliable, it is only as good as the power that keeps it functioning.

When this simple system fails, the results can be catastrophic, causing thousands of dollars in damage, daily disruptions caused by major repair work and higher insurance premiums for years to come. So spending some time and money on evading failure makes a lot of sense. That’s the advantage of sump pump battery backup systems—no matter what the reason for the pump failure, a backup system will save the day.

Advantages of battery backup systems

    • Effortless to maintain
    • Basic installation
    • 
Unlike water-powered systems, battery backup systems function when there’s no water supply
    • Reliable during power outages

Considerations for battery backup systems

    • Battery may run down before power is restored
    • 
Battery water levels must be inspected every few months
    • Battery terminals must be cleaned twice a year
    • 
Battery must be replaced every five years (and costs approximately $100)

So, when your sump pump starts acting different, call Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing to check out your issue and help you decide on new sump pump installation, repair or replacement for your the U.S. home.
