Sump Pump Backup Installation Process

Simple Installation, Reliable Protection

We start by evaluating your current sump pump setup and basement conditions. Every installation is different because every basement is different. We measure your pump capacity, check your discharge lines, and determine the right battery backup size for your needs.

Installation typically takes a few hours. We connect the battery backup system to your existing sump pump setup, test everything thoroughly, and show you how the system works. The battery backup activates automatically when your primary pump can’t keep up or when power goes out.

After installation, we test the system under real conditions. You’ll see exactly how it switches over, how long the battery lasts, and what maintenance it needs. No surprises, no guesswork.

Complete Sump Pump Backup Systems

Everything You Need for Protection

Your battery backup sump pump installation includes the backup pump, marine-grade battery, automatic switch, and all necessary connections. We handle permits, inspections, and testing to make sure everything meets local codes.

We also check your existing primary pump while we’re there. Many homeowners discover their main pump needs attention when we install the backup. Better to find out now than during the next storm.

Maintenance is straightforward – we’ll show you what to watch for and when to call us. Most systems need annual battery testing and occasional pump maintenance. We keep track of your system and remind you when service is due.

Most quality battery backup systems run 6-12 hours depending on how often the pump cycles. If your basement only gets moderate water during storms, the battery can last much longer. Heavy water flow means more frequent cycling and shorter battery life. We size the battery based on your specific basement conditions and typical storm patterns in Bloomingdale. During installation, we’ll give you realistic expectations for your particular setup and show you how to monitor battery levels.
Your battery backup system automatically takes over when it detects the primary pump isn’t working. The backup pump can handle the full water load, though it may cycle more frequently than your main pump. This gives you time to get your primary pump repaired without risking basement flooding. Most backup systems also include alarms that alert you when they’re running, so you know there’s an issue that needs attention. The key is having a backup system installed before you need it.
No, battery backup systems work with most existing sump pumps. The backup system includes its own pump that operates independently of your primary pump. Both pumps use the same discharge pipe, but they’re separate units. We evaluate your current setup during the consultation to make sure everything is compatible. In some cases, we might recommend upgrading your primary pump at the same time, but it’s not required for the backup system to work properly.
Battery backup systems need annual testing and battery maintenance. We recommend checking the battery charge every few months and testing the system before storm season. The battery typically lasts 3-5 years depending on usage and conditions. The backup pump itself needs minimal maintenance if it’s not running frequently. We offer annual service visits to test everything, clean connections, and replace batteries when needed. Regular maintenance prevents system failures when you actually need the backup protection.
Yes, battery backup systems connect to your existing discharge pipe system. We install a check valve and connection that allows both your primary and backup pumps to use the same discharge route. During installation, we inspect your discharge pipes to make sure they’re properly sized and not blocked. If there are issues with your current discharge setup, we’ll address those at the same time. Proper discharge is critical for both pumps to work effectively.
Battery backup size depends on your basement size, water infiltration rate, and how long you need protection during outages. We measure these factors during our evaluation and recommend the appropriate system. Smaller basements with minimal water issues can use smaller backup systems, while larger basements or areas with heavy water flow need more robust systems. We don’t oversell – you get the right size system for your actual conditions, not the biggest one we carry.
