If there’s any time you’d like to wish the rain away, it’s Spring. Not all the rain, mind you. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have much of a garden or lawn. No, just enough rain so you wouldn’t need to worry about the potential for a flooded basement…or two…or three.
Well, given that all the wishing in the world won’t make a bean’s worth of difference, your next best option is to equip your basement with a sump pump and a back-up sump pump.
Already have a sump pump and think you have the problem licked? Not so fast…main sump pumps run on electricity. Which means if the power goes out, the pump is rendered useless. And that can lead to potentially extensive damage to your home and personal belongings.
To prevent all that, consider the added precaution of a back-up sump pump – battery powered, to be more specific.
Benefits of a Battery-Powered Back-up Sump Pump
Here’s just some of what you can expect from battery back-up sump pump:
- Turns on as soon as your main pump shuts down, no matter what the reason
- Keeps running until you manually shut if off or your main pump regains power
- Some models come with a mobile App that alerts you when:
- The backup pump is running
- The battery can no longer keep up with water intake
- Your basement is at risk of flooding
- Better back-up sump pumps can remove up to 7,000 gallons of water per hour and run for up for up to 3.5 days
- Pre-plumbed for ease of installation
One main sump pump…plus a battery-powered back-up pump…equals no rain in your basement and no damage to your home or belongings. Perfect. Contact Norhio Plumbing today for a free estimate for a sump pump and back-up pump combination or whatever solution suits you best.
