The Benefits of a Sump Pump Battery Backup System
Sump pumps run on your home’s electricity, and there’s always a chance the same storm that threatens to flood your basement is the one that knocks out your power. That’s when the battery backup takes over.
KC Waterproofing installs backup systems sized to match the primary pump’s demands, from a heavier-duty 115V unit to a 12V system built for lighter loads. Both use a non-mechanical float switch, so there’s no moving mechanical part that can stick or jam at the moment it matters most. An LCD display on the unit shows battery capacity, pump amps, and load in real time, giving you or a technician a way to check the system’s health without waiting for something to go wrong.
The battery itself is a deep-cycle marine battery, built to sit unused for long stretches and still deliver full power the instant the primary pump needs help. The backup system carries its own 3-year warranty, separate from the lifetime warranty on the rest of the installation.
