"We have a smaller upstairs bathroom that had not been touched since 1975. The shower had been unusable for over a decade due to leakage. The space had to be completely gutted down to the studs and completely redone. The contractor we had used several times over the years retired, so we needed someone new who we could trust. Radical Renovations (Angelo) was recommended to us by N & S Supply in Kingston and I'm SO happy we hired him! He's professional, responsive, patient and finds solutions to all issues that invariably come up when you're dealing with old homes. Plus, the crew who he brought in to work with him was also pleasant and professional. I would absolutely hire Angelo again...in fact I already am!"

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.
