Be Ready in Boise with a Sump Pump Battery Backup

Your sump pump is one of those things you may not regard 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 rapidly allow water to overflow the sump and damage your basement.

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

When this simple system breaks down, the results can be disastrous, leading to 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 cause of the pump failure, a backup system will save the day.

Advantages of battery backup systems

    • Simple to maintain
    • Basic installation
    • 
Unlike water-powered systems, battery backup systems operate when there’s no water supply
    • Functional during power outages

Considerations for battery backup systems

    • Battery may run down before power returns
    • 
Battery water levels must be examined 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 strange, call Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing to investigate your issue and help you decide on new sump pump installation, repair or replacement for your the U.S. home.
