Back Up Sump Pump

 

Hey folks, let’s talk about something that can save you a whole lot of headache when it comes to keeping your home dry—specifically, battery backup sump pumps. You might be thinking, “Why do I need a backup?” Well, if you’ve ever dealt with a flooded basement, you know exactly why!

Understanding Discharge Lines

Now, one of the big things I see all the time is people adding pumps without giving any thought to their discharge lines. Listen up: you can have ten pumps hooked up to the same discharge pipe, but here’s the catch— that pipe is only going to carry a certain amount of water. No matter how many pumps you’ve got, that pipe has its limits.

So what do we do? We recommend installing a dedicated battery backup discharge line. This is crucial! If something goes wrong with your primary sump pump, this dedicated line will handle the water all on its own. It’s all about peace of mind, folks.

More Water, Less Worry

Here’s the kicker: when both your primary sump pump and your battery backup are running at the same time on their own dedicated lines, they can move a lot more water than if you were trying to squeeze everything through a single 1-1/2 inch line. This setup isn’t just smart; it’s one of the best investments you can make in your home’s protection against flooding.

Our Top Recommendation

Now, let’s get to the good stuff. We highly recommend the PHCC Pro Series 2400. This bad boy is designed to remove water for up to 24 hours straight on one battery charge. In our book, it’s hands down the best battery backup sump pump on the market. If you’ve got mechanicals under your house or in a basement or crawl space where water tends to creep in, you really should consider installing a battery backup sump pump system.

Now, I’ll be real with you—this kind of setup typically costs anywhere from $1,200.00 to $2,400.00, depending on who you call.

DIY or Call a Pro?

If you’re handy, sure, you might think about doing it yourself. But I’m telling you, it’s always best to call a licensed plumber. Why? Because you want it done right. You want the peace of mind that comes from knowing a professional, someone who’s insured and has the right experience, is taking care of it.
