KBA Kitchen and Bath: Transforming Homes with Excellence for Over 25 Years. Proudly Serving Fairfax County and Fauquier County.
"We would like to say thank you to KBA Kitchen & Bath Design & Build for a great job remodeling our two upstairs bathrooms. The two bathrooms were completely renovated in 5 weeks, but it could have been finished even sooner if we hadn’t selected a premium option for our shower glass enclosure. The entire project was started and finished between January 21, 2025 until February 28, 2025, which included the crew working two Saturdays, which shows their dedication in getting the job done. We were very impressed with KBA over the entire project! Specifically, we were impressed at how smooth and efficient the entire process was. It was seamless – from the initial consultation to the execution of the job. The designer, Anna, was very thorough and helpful in sketching the designs of new bathrooms and offering advice on recommended materials for the bathroom, to include going above and beyond in helping us choose just the right paint colors to perfectly blend with our newly installed bathroom accessories. Anna and Ervin both made after hour visits to provide their insight on color schemes and where bathroom accessories should be installed and look best. The lead project manager, Ervin, was always there to answer our questions, and he went out of his way to always ensure we were happy customers! Ervin also visited on many occasions to give us updates on project progress and keeping his crew updated on any changes. The installation team always showed up on time, left the work area clean, and went above and beyond to make our design a reality. Anna, Ervin and the crew were always very friendly, professional, and helpful throughout this project. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome as we absolutely love our bathrooms! We highly recommend choosing KBA for your next home project!"

Runtime varies based on battery size and cycling frequency. Most battery backups run for six to 24 hours, depending on battery capacity and pump usage. The system activates only when water reaches trigger levels, potentially extending actual operation time beyond rated hours. For locations with frequent extended outages, consider keeping a spare battery or supplemental power source available.
Yes, most existing sump pump systems can be enhanced with battery backup capability. You'll need compatible components that work with your current setup. Installation involves connecting the backup unit to your discharge pipe and setting up the battery system. Professional installation (costing $45 to $200 per hour) helps ensure proper system integration and safe handling of electrical components.
A battery backup system provides valuable protection for homes in areas prone to power outages during storms. With an average cost of $900, these systems help prevent potentially significant water damage and related expenses. Even preventing a single flooding incident can justify the investment, especially considering standard homeowner insurance policies don’t often cover flood damage.
Regular maintenance includes testing system operation by disconnecting the primary pump and verifying that the backup activates properly. Inspect battery terminals for corrosion and clean as needed. Check battery charge levels according to manufacturer recommendations. Standard batteries require replacement every three to five years, while deep-cycle batteries with proper maintenance can last up to 10 years. An annual professional inspection (approximately $250) helps ensure reliable operation.
