Battery Backup Sump Pump — Buffalo Grove, IL.

If you already have a sump pump system in place for your property, you might wonder whether you need a backup pump as well. What does a backup pump do and how can it benefit your home? Backup pumps are crucial additions to any sump pump system, providing an extra layer of protection in the event of power outages or primary pump failure. Battery-operated backup pumps or water-powered backup pumps can kick in when the primary pump is unable to operate, ensuring continuous drainage and preventing basement flooding.

Sump pumps and backup pumps provide invaluable protection against water damage by effectively managing water levels and preventing basement flooding. By promptly removing excess water from your basement or crawlspace, these systems help preserve the integrity of your property’s foundation, walls, and interior spaces. Additionally, sump pumps help mitigate the risk of mold and mildew growth, which can thrive in damp environments and pose health hazards to occupants.  At Lakeside Plumbing Inc., we have been installing battery backup sump pumps for over 35 years and we know firsthand how important they are to keep your home safe & dry.  We proudly install Pro Series Battery Backup Sump Pumps, they are the leading industry in green technology.

How Battery Backup Sump Pumps Work

Here's a breakdown of key information about battery backup sump pumps:

• Dual Pump System: These systems work alongside your primary sump pump. If the primary pump fails or loses power, the battery backup automatically takes over.
• Power Source: The backup pump is powered by a rechargeable battery, usually a deep-cycle marine battery, capable of running for several hours depending on the model.
• Monitoring: Many systems come with alarms or indicators to notify homeowners if the backup pump is in use or if the battery needs replacement.

Battery backup sump pumps are essential devices designed to provide additional protection against basement flooding, especially during power outages or primary sump pump failures. They are useful in areas prone to heavy rain, storms, or frequent power outages.
