If you've got a sump pump There's something to think about. First...when do you really need your sump pump to be working the most?
Usually, when it's raining or you have a high water table. When it's raining or storming what are the chances the power will go out? So, when the power goes out what else goes out??? Your sump pump! Case and point...consider a battery backup pump if you can't afford to have your basement flooded.
Although backup sump pumps don't have the same pumping capacity as a regular pump, they are still able to operate on a battery alone...and it may be enough to keep you out of trouble until the power comes back on.
