Battery Backup Sump Pumps

Heavy rain and power outages often arrive together. A sump pump that depends only on house power can stop right when water is rising fastest. A battery backup system gives you a second pump that starts on its own when the main pump cannot.

We install battery backup sump pumps in Nashville and across Middle Tennessee, either as a second pump in the basin or as a combined system. Batteries are sized for your needs, and alarms let you know when something needs attention.

What you get

Done right, from the first walk-through

01

Secondary pump with its own power

A deep-cycle battery runs the pump during outages.

02

Charger and monitor

The battery stays charged, and the controller reports its status.

03

Alarm

A loud alert tells you if the primary has failed, the battery is low or the water is high.

04

Fitted to your basin

The backup is mounted so both pumps can work without interfering with each other.

The process

How your service comes together

  1. 1

    Check the existing pump

    We look at the pit, the discharge and the power so the backup fits the system.

  2. 2

    Install and wire

    The backup pump, controller and battery are installed with their own float and piping.

  3. 3

    Test and train

    We run both pumps, test the alarm and show you how to check the battery.

FAQ

Common questions about battery backup pumps

How long does the battery run the pump?

That depends on battery size and how often the pump runs. We explain what to expect for your system and how to maintain it.

Does the battery need replacing?

Yes, batteries wear out and should be checked regularly and replaced when they weaken. We tell you how to tell.

Can a backup be added to my existing pump?

In most cases, yes. We check the basin size and discharge so both pumps can work together.
