Sump Pump Systems (Single vs Battery Back Up)

Sump Pump Repair Services

A sump pump that is working properly is the key to a dry and protected basement or crawl space. In fact, a sump pump is at the heart of any good waterproofing system because it works to remove excess water from the lower level to the outside and away from the house. Why is this important? Just a few inches of water in your basement or crawl space can be a major expense, not to mention the damage it can cause to your home’s foundation, or the dangerous mold and mildew that can result from flooding or leaks.

How does a sump pump work?


Why does a sump pump fail?

A functioning sump can prevent a number of issues including flooding, excess moisture and damage to personal belongings, but, there are three main reasons why a pump can fail:

  1. Loss of power and your sump pump runs on electricity

Importance of Having a Backup

The last thing you want during a power outage is a flood in your basement. A backup system is crucial for ensuring sustainable operation. It can be the difference between having a dry, safe, and clean basement or having a wet, hazardous, and dirty basement. We only offer the best backup systems with our sump pumps.
