Sump pump failure can lead to a very serious flood in your basement if you have no backup system in place.
Backup Sump Pumps
Backup Sump Systems & Battery Backup Pumps For a Dry Basement
Like any mechanical utility within your home, your sump pump can eventually fail. A sump pump contains moving parts that can wear out or malfunction over the years.
The best way to make sure your home is protected from a sump pump failure is to make sure that you have a battery backup pump and secondary sump pump ready to operate in an emergency.
At Foundation Recovery Systems, we install sump pump systems that are equipped to handle your basement water problem.

Sump pumps lose power for a variety of reasons. Aside from the obvious power failure, it's possible for a circuit to trip, especially pumps plugged into GFI outlets.
At Foundation Recovery Systems, we've also seen many cases where the pump was unplugged by someone who needed to use the outlet but forgot to plug the sump back into the outlet.
In some situations, this has led to water damage to nearly everything stored in the basement. You'll be glad to have a battery backup sump pump installed!
Backup Sump Pump Systems
If you have a primary sump pump and a battery backup sump pump, your basement is already well on its way to being protected.
However, if your primary sump pump fails due to mechanical failure, your basement waterproofing is only good as long as your battery backup can last. And if your sump pump is being overwhelmed due to an unusually high volume of water, it's best to have a secondary sump pump that can kick in and help keep the water down.
