Battery Backup Sump Pump Basement Sumps in Long Island

Suffolk County & Nassau County’s Trusted Company for Backup Sump Pumps

A sump pump is a key part of a Long Island interior basement waterproofing solution, but even the best sump pump won’t work without power. If there is a power outage in your area during a rainstorm, your basement may be left unprotected from outside water.

But, with a battery backup sump pump, your Long Island waterproofing system remains online, protecting your home. The battery-backup collects any water from the french drain and pumps it up, out, and away from your home. That is why at ACM, we install battery backup pumps for our customers.

Keeping Your Basement Always Dry

At ACM, we always recommend to our Long Island customers that they consider a backup system. The simplest type of backup consists of a second pump. The float on this backup pump is positioned a few inches higher than the primary pump.

This way, if the primary pump should fail for any reason or if the water in the sump is rising too fast for the primary pump, the backup pump will automatically come on, ensuring that your basement remains dry.

Proven Battery Backup Pumps

Because the pump runs on your Long Island home’s electricity, it will not function during a power outage. This can be especially problematic due to the fact that power outages often coincide with the heaviest rains. Because of this, it is sometimes wise to consider a battery backup sump pump system.

A wet basement is an unhealthy basement, and you don’t want to face the health risks of basement water. So, be sure to ask about adding a battery backup pump to your Long Island home when speaking with your ACM representative. We are Long Island’s battery backup sump pump experts.
