Sump Pump Battery Backup Installation Process

Here's How We Install Your Backup System

First, we evaluate your current sump pump setup and basement layout. We check your existing pump’s condition, measure your pit, and determine the best battery backup configuration for your space.

Every system comes with manufacturer warranties and our installation guarantee. We’ll show you how to test the system periodically and when to replace the battery. You’ll have everything you need to keep your basement dry for years.

Most quality battery backup systems run 6-12 hours during typical pumping conditions, depending on how much water they’re handling and the battery size. If your basement only needs occasional pumping, the battery can last much longer. Heavy rain with continuous pumping will drain it faster. We size the battery system based on your basement’s typical water volume and your area’s average outage duration. Many systems also have low-battery alarms to warn you if power stays out too long.
Yes, in most cases we can add a battery backup system to work alongside your current sump pump. The backup pump installs in the same pit as your primary pump but operates independently. Your existing pump handles normal water removal, and the battery backup kicks in when power fails or if the primary pump can’t keep up. We’ll evaluate your current setup to make sure your pit has enough space and that your existing pump is in good working condition.
Battery backup systems need minimal maintenance, but regular checks keep them reliable. Test the system every few months by unplugging your primary pump to make sure the backup activates. Check battery terminals for corrosion and clean them if needed. The battery typically needs replacement every 3-5 years, depending on usage and quality. We recommend annual professional inspections to test the pump, battery, and alarm systems. Most homeowners can handle the basic maintenance themselves.
Battery backup installation typically costs between $800-2000, depending on the pump size, battery capacity, and your basement’s setup. Higher-capacity systems with larger batteries cost more but provide longer runtime during outages. The investment usually pays for itself by preventing just one basement flood. We provide upfront pricing after evaluating your specific needs. Financing options are available, and many homeowners find the peace of mind worth the cost compared to potential water damage expenses.
Most insurance companies don’t cover the installation cost, but many offer discounts on premiums for homes with backup systems. Some insurers provide better coverage for water damage when you have preventive measures in place. Check with your agent about potential discounts or coverage improvements. Even without insurance coverage, the system often pays for itself by preventing costly water damage claims. We can provide documentation of your installation for insurance purposes.
Quality backup systems significantly reduce the chance of total pump failure, but it’s still possible during extreme conditions or if both pumps have mechanical issues. That’s why we recommend systems with monitoring alarms that alert you immediately if there are problems. Regular maintenance and testing help catch issues before they become failures. We also offer emergency service to address pump problems quickly. Some homeowners in high-risk areas choose water-powered backup pumps as a third line of defense, though these require specific plumbing configurations.
