A backup sump pump is a smart investment for homeowners who want to ensure their basement stays dry, even when the unexpected happens. Here are a few key reasons why you should consider adding a backup pump to your waterproofing system:
During storms or extreme weather, power outages are common—and they can be disastrous if your sump pump stops working. A battery backup sump pump automatically kicks in when the primary pump loses power, ensuring water continues to be pumped away from your foundation.
Sump pumps can fail due to mechanical issues, wear, or clogging. With a backup pump in place, your home stays protected if your primary pump isn’t working properly. You won’t have to worry about water damage from a faulty pump.
If your area experiences heavy rainfall or flooding, your main sump pump might struggle to handle the extra load. A backup pump helps manage increased water flow, keeping your basement dry even in extreme conditions
.
With a backup sump pump in place, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your home is protected 24/7. Whether it's a power outage or pump failure, you’ll have a reliable system ready to step in.

A sump pump is a crucial component of a basement waterproofing system. It’s installed in a sump basin to collect water that enters your basement or crawlspace, then pumps it out and away from your home to prevent flooding and water damage.
Why should you consider installing a backup Sump Pump? A backup sump pump ensures your basement stays dry during power outages, pump failures, or heavy rainfall. It automatically activates if your primary pump can’t keep up, providing continuous protection against water intrusion.
We install Watchdog battery backup sump pumps, known for their reliability and performance. These systems are powered by long-lasting batteries and provide automatic backup protection when your primary pump fails or loses power.
While hydro-powered pumps can also serve as a backup, we do not install them because they require a licensed plumber for proper installation. Instead, we recommend battery backup sump pumps for a more accessible and reliable solution.
When your primary sump pump fails or loses power (such as during a storm or power outage), the Watchdog battery backup system automatically activates. It keeps your basement dry by pumping out water until the power returns or the primary pump is fixed.
The lifespan of a backup sump pump depends on the pump’s quality and battery maintenance. The Watchdog battery backup system is built to last and has features that allow for easy monitoring and testing to ensure it’s always ready to go.
Even if power outages are rare, backup sump pumps are a wise investment for homeowners in flood-prone areas or those with older sump pump systems. A backup pump ensures that your basement stays dry in any situation, from storms to unexpected pump failures.
