A sump pump battery backup could end up being one the the smartest purchases you ever make for your property. Its the kind of device you never think about when things are going OK but desperately need when @%$! hits the fan. I had my own ‘I should have’ experience where a battery backup sump pump would have save me thousands. Back in the days when I thought I was a smart ‘property-flipper’ I purchased a property that experienced a half-day long power outage while I switched the utilities into my name.

We were working  on the upper floors with good daylight the sump pump in the basement didnt have power so I had no idea how much water was leaking into the foundation. By the time we started working in the basement – wood had rotted, drywall was ruined, etc. It was a HUGE expensive disaster. Directly after that episode I purchased a sump pump with battery backup and have never regretted it.

My sump pump battery backup system has never had to deal with another half-day long interruption but there have been plenty of power outages, brown-outs and brief black-outs caused by storms and other severe weather. In fact I never realized how often brief events happen that activate my sump pump battery backup systems. Both systems on this page have notification displays and alarms so you’ll know when they’ve been activated. If your property has a sump pump, do yourself a favor and upgrade it to a system that also includes a sump pump battery backup. Its some of the cheapest property insurance you’ll every purchase.
