Your sump pump helps move collected water away from the basement, but a power outage can interrupt that protection when a storm is still bringing water toward the house. A battery backup pump provides an additional way to move water while utility power is unavailable.
Everdry Pittsburgh inspects the existing sump setup and recommends backup equipment suited to the installation. We explain how the proposed system works, what care it needs, and the limits of its protection so you know what to expect during an outage.

Heavy rain and power outages can happen at the same time. If the primary sump pump stops because household power is unavailable, water can continue collecting in the sump basin. A compatible battery backup pump is intended to help keep water moving until power returns, within the limits of the installed equipment.
Backup protection depends on factors such as battery condition and the amount of incoming water. During an inspection, our team reviews the current pump and basin, then explains the backup option and care instructions in a written proposal.

A battery backup pump provides an additional way to move water from the sump basin when household power is unavailable. It works alongside the primary pump and is intended to help protect the basement during an outage, within the limits of the installed equipment.

Runtime varies with the battery condition, the amount of incoming water, and how often the pump cycles. We review the equipment selected for your home and its operating guidance rather than promising a fixed number of hours or days.
No. The primary pump handles normal operation when power is available. The backup pump is an additional layer of pumping protection for a power interruption or another condition covered by the installed system.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the pump and battery installed in your home. Our team reviews routine checks and care instructions at installation so you understand how to keep the backup ready.
