Why You Need a Battery Backup Sump Pump in Kansas City

BATTERY BACKUP SUMP PUMP IN KANSAS CITYHomeowners in Kansas City understand how important it is to have a primary sump pump in their basement to protect it from flooding. Water in your basement or crawlspace can cause a lot of damage and will become a source for mold and mildew growth.

Having a primary sump pump is important, but there will be times when the primary sump pump is not enough. Some of the times when the primary sump pump will not work include:

  • When the power goes out.
  • When the primary sump pump gets clogged or has a mechanical issue.
  • When the float switch gets stuck.

That is why the experts at Pro Foundation Technology know how important to have a battery backup sump pump installed along with the primary sump pump.

What is a Battery Backup Sump Pump?

At Pro Foundation Technology, we install a battery backup sump pump right next to the primary sump pump. It has a battery that provides a secondary power source if the primary sump pump fails.

The spring season in Kansas City brings rapid snowmelt, swollen rivers, and frequent rainstorms. All of these things will cause the groundwater table to rise causing basement flooding. When the sump basin fills too quickly, the primary sump pump won’t be able to handle it. That is when the battery backup sump pump will kick in to provide extra pumping capacity.

During severe storms in the Kansas City area, there are many times during these storms that the electricity goes out. When this happens, the primary sump pump won’t work. That is why it is important to have a battery backup sump pump.

Pro Foundation Technology installs only the best battery backup sump pumps. They are Pro Series brand manufactured by Earth Contact Products (ECP), the leader in the manufacturing of waterproofing products in the industry today.
