He was on time and performed his work correctly. After he installed the drains for 6 sinks, they all felt sturdy and secure"

"Worst customer service I've ever received. Burton advertised a $149 snake for a main line. My wife called around 12'oclock noon to schedule an appointment. We were told a technician would be at our house between 1:00pm and 4:00pm. They never showed up. We called around 5:00pm and asked if there was still someone coming. They assured there was. No one showed up. Around 6:00pm we called back and asked if there was still someone coming. We were told this time an emergency had happened and a different tech would be out shortly. No one showed up. We called back at 7:00pm again to find out if someone was coming... The dispatchers put me hold, offered to send someone out for an after hours fee of $249 and if we wanted to get the $149 rate we would have to wait until Monday. I asked if there was any kind of compensation or discount since they wasted my whole day, they said no. I asked if I could speak to a manager and conveniently there wasn't anyone available. The dispatcher then very sarcastically said, "OK then honey, have a good night." With folks like that I'd hate to see what kind of actual work they perform. RUN!! Go somewhere else. Very disrespectful and unprofessional."

"Called Saturday October 5th 2024 at around 11am. Spoke to someone, gave my name, address, phone number. They repeated it back accurately. Appt set from 12-4pm same day. 3pm that day a sales manager comes by, says they don't have a ph# for me. I gave it to him. He said there's 1 guy working and he probably won't be able to make it today. He recommended I call another company if I wanted it done that day. So I did. Today is Monday October 7th, 2 days after I requested service. I get an email from April saying they don't have a phone number for me and asking me to call to arrange service. How do they lose my number twice? And further, who calls for weekend service for a plumbing issue but can wait till Monday because of a company's incompetence? Not me. I called a competitor and they made it that day. Aksarben ARS was a waste of my time on Saturday. And the email this morning asking to reschedule service made my jaw hit the floor. I do not recommend Aksarben ARS."

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.
