Sump Pump Battery Backup
James Pratt of Basement Technologies answers the common basement waterproofing question, "Why do I need a battery backup sump pump unit?"Always have a Battery Backup!
It is important to have a battery back-up in the event of an emergency situation. Power outages occur during storms, particularly when it is raining. If it is raining, your basement can get wet. If the power to the sump pump goes out, you will suffer a wet basement. Battery Back-Ups for Sump Pumps are designed to help get you safely through the storm for short periods of time. The best form of a back-up system is a direct generator for the sump pump or a whole house generator that automatically comes on if there is a power outage.
