Backup Sump Pump Installation

Sump pumps protect your home from water damage by pumping away groundwater that would otherwise damage your foundation or flood your basement. Unfortunately, power outages also occur during major storms, which can leave your sump pump inoperable when you need it most. To prevent this, many homeowners choose to protect their homes with a sump pump battery backup system.

Backup sump pump installation is not always easy and often requires help from an experienced plumber. For help installing your sump pump battery backup, call Mr. Rooter® Plumbing today.

Determining Plumbing Service Costs

In our years of experience, we have found that our customers prefer an accurate price based on their exact plumbing problem. Most phone quotes are subject to change once the service technician sees the job. We don't think that is fair to you. By allowing us to diagnose your plumbing problem in person, you will know exactly what it will take to get the job done.

How Much Is a Plumbing Inspection?

A typical plumbing inspection can vary in price depending on the size of your home or property. With Mr. Rooter®, an in-home inspection is completely free with repair or any other type of plumbing service. This includes an in-depth inspection from a trained and licensed plumbing professional.

10 Common Water Heater Problems + How To Fix Them

Water heaters are essential for your home, providing warm showers, clean dishes, and sanitized laundry. When water heaters malfunction, it can disrupt your daily routine. Some of the most common signs that a water heater is not working are a strange odor, a leaking water tank, low water pressure, and a noisy water heater.

Yes, you can add a battery backup to an existing sump pump. Some battery backups operate in a similar manner to a battery backup used for internet routers, and the sump pump can plug directly into them with no additional work.

Other battery backups for sump pumps will require a more complex installation process. The ones that are more complex to install tend to be heavier-duty and less likely to fail in the event of a major storm. Regardless of which type you choose,, it will likely integrate with your current sump pump.
A sump pump battery tends to last between three and five years if they are cared for properly. However, even when adequately maintained, many factors impact their overall lifespan.

First, a sump pump backup won’t last quite as long if it is in constant use. In areas where power outages are frequent, they will burn out faster through overuse, and will eventually need to be replaced.

Battery-powered backups may also require replacement if they are run heavily for a long period of time in a single instance. The battery can only last so long (the total operating time depends on the model). If it runs for more than that period of time, it can drain the battery and impact future operability.

No matter what backup system you have, you should maintain both it and your sump pump with regular cleaning and inspections.
A sump pump backup system may seem expensive, but think of it as insurance. The cost of water damage—and the associated headaches—is a huge price to pay if you don’t have a backup sump pump during a blackout. And since sump pumps work hardest during storms, it’s safe to assume you’ll lose power one day and need a battery backup to keep your basement from flooding. So, protect your home and get peace of mind; give Mr. Rooter a call or request an estimate from a locally owned and operated Mr. Rooter nearest you.
