Don’t Let a Power Outage Flood Your Basement
Your sump pump is most likely to fail when you need it most — during storms and outages. Protect your home with a professionally installed sump pump backup system from PHDPLUMBING.
What a Backup Sump Pump System Protects You From
Most floods happen when the power goes out or the main pump fails unexpectedly. A backup system gives you a second line of defense.
Power Outages
Your main sump pump can’t run without electricity. A battery backup keeps water moving when storms knock power out.
Main Pump Failure
If the primary pump jams, burns out, or can’t keep up, the backup activates to prevent flooding.
Peace of Mind
Backup systems are especially important for finished basements, rental properties, and homes with valuables downstairs.
What We Install With Your Backup System
This is not a “throw a pump in the pit” job. We install a complete, tested system designed to work when it matters most.

Backup Sump Pump FAQ
Do I really need a backup sump pump?
If you’ve ever had water issues, have a finished basement, or experience storms/power outages — a backup system is one of the best investments to prevent flooding.
How long will the battery last?
Battery runtime depends on water volume, pump type, and battery capacity. We recommend the right setup based on your risk level and can test expected performance.
Will the backup system turn on automatically?
Yes — a properly installed backup system is designed to activate automatically during outage or primary pump failure.
Do you test the whole system?
Yes. We test activation, floats, pumping, and backup changeover so you know it works before we leave.
