If you live in an area that gets heavy rain, sits near a stream or wetland area, or is prone to power outages, installing a sump pump with a battery backup has significant advantages.
If the power goes out during heavy rain, your sump pump stops working, allowing rainwater to infiltrate your basement. A sump pump with a battery backup will ensure that your basement stays dry, even when the power goes out. Remember that not all sump pumps and battery backups are created equal so make sure that you get a reliable system installed. At Best Buy Waterproofing we offer a lifetime, transferrable warranty on all our sump pump systems.
A sump pump with a proper battery backup system is your best protection against heavy rain and flooding. It will continuously pump out water that collects in the sump pump pit.
Be sure to consult a waterproofing expert before installing a new sump pump system. Understanding your home’s unique drainage environment and the current condition of your foundation are the keys to getting the right system installed. The placement of the sump pump or the need for additional sump pumps need to be carefully considered. A basement waterproofing professional has the knowledge and experience required to recommend the right solution for your property.
