Battery Backup Sump Pumps

A Primary Sump Pump is the heart of your home’s drainage system. It moves water from your basement to the outside of your home. A pit, known as a basin, holds the Sump Pump, which is equipped with valves that sense escalating water levels or pressure. When the water gets too high, sump pumps automatically pump excess water out of the basement through a discharge pipe. Backup sump pumps are just that — backup for when your Primary Pump fails. Whether it’s a primary or backup, a functional Sump Pump is essential to prevent water from entering your basement, which can lead to stressful, costly, and disruptive repairs.

What is the function of a Battery Backup Sump Pump?

A Battery Backup Sump Pump serves the same purpose as a Primary Sump Pump, but it does so only when the main Sump Pump falters. Primary Sump Pumps rely on the electricity that powers the home, which means a power outage equals a (Primary) Sump Pump outage. Other reasons pumps break down are mechanical failures and normal wear and tear. When any of the above happens and the water level inside the Sump Pump pit rises, the backup Sump Pump, which runs on a battery, automatically starts working. Over a long enough period, a Sump Pump will fail, and it’ll generally happen without warning. Most Sump Pumps have an average life span of 5 to 7 years, after which they need replacing. 

What kind of Backup Sump Pumps does U.S. Waterproofing offer?

If the power goes out — a common occurrence during heavy storms — you can protect your basement with Battery Operated Sump System (BOSS) Backup Sump Pumps, U.S. Waterproofing’s own line of emergency pumps. Thoroughly tested in our Sump Pump Research Center our BOSS pumps are the ultimate in reliability. The pumping capacity and battery life with these pumps, which require no assembly or maintenance, are better than those from big box stores.

What are the models and features of BOSS pumps?

U.S. Waterproofing offers three different Backup Sump Pumps named for their gallons per hour pumping capacity, the BOSS 2100, BOSS 3100, and BOSS 4000 Deluxe (2,100 gallons/hour for the BOSS 2100, 3,100 for the BOSS 3100, etc.). Each operates at a 10 foot vertical discharge height, which is the distance between where the water enters the foundation of your house (approx. 3 feet below the basement floor) and where the water exits the house by way of the sump pump (about 7-8 feet above the basement floor).
