Battery Backup Units

Battery back up

Having a battery backup for your basement pump system, also known as a sump pump, is crucial for the following reasons:

• Power Outages: Sump pumps rely on electrical power to function. However, during severe weather conditions such as heavy rain, the same storm that can flood your basement can also cause power outages. With a battery backup, your pump system will continue to operate even when there’s no electrical power, keeping your basement dry.
• Long Absences: If you’re away from home for a significant period, and your fuse trips, a battery backup will ensure your basement stays dry until you return.

Remember that the battery itself will also need maintenance.
