COMMON QUESTIONS
Clear answers before the work starts.
Should the sump pump have battery backup?
A battery backup can keep pumping during an outage. The right capacity depends on the pit, incoming water and desired runtime.
Where should the discharge go?
The discharge should route outside in a manner that does not create icing, nuisance water or an improper sewer connection.
How often should the pump be tested?
Test the pump and alarm regularly and before storm season. Keep the pit clear and confirm the discharge route is open.
