If you live or own a business in an area that gets a lot of rainfall or is located near a basin, then you will benefit from leaing about and installing a sump pump and backup sump pump. At Mr. Rooter Plumbing, we have certified plumbers and sophisticated technology which allows us to rapidly and reliably install these devices, but we would like to teach you how to install a backup sump pump yourself. If you decide to leave this task to the professionals, then feel free to call Mr. Rooter Plumbing. Our friendly and helpful representatives are always on standby to take your call, schedule an appointment, or answer any questions or conces.
A sump pump is a simple machine designed to keep moisture and water out of a basement or crawl space in your home or business. They are recommended for property in low-lying areas prone to flooding. A sump pump simply pumps floodwater away from the building. There are two primary types of sump pumps available: a submersible and the pedestal pump. The difference is small, though: a submersible pump is enclosed in a waterproof case while a pedestal pump is kept out of the water. Pedestal pumps are generally less expensive but also much louder than submersible pumps.
A backup sump pump, as the name suggests, is a “plan B” and provides an extra layer of defense against flooding. They are usually battery or water-pressure powered, springing into action when the primary sump pump loses power during an outage. This is especially crucial considering the likelihood that a storm brings torrential rainfall as well as a power outage.
It was a late Saturday night. We had a super stubborn clog in some old galvanized pipes. Mr. Rooter send out Phil. Phil was great! He found the problem pretty quick. With determination and professionalism he final got it cleared out. I would recommend Mr. Rooter and Phil to anyone! He even cleaned up. We are so happy we choose Mr. Rooter!
We had a plumbing emergency and found Mr. Rooter while frantically searching for a 24-hour plumber. We feel like we hit a gold mine. Not only did we get a timely response. Everyone at Mr. Rooter was friendly, professional, competent and went above and beyond. Our plumber, Phil, was extremely helpful and gave us tips we could use moving firwars. Not to mention, the cost was extremely reasonable.
Had sewer water backup in toilet and tub. Received callback as promised and arrived early. The tech determined we needed the main line to be cleared. He quickly located the opening and had us cleared in minutes. Very happy with the service. I was not prepared for the fee but it was an emergency.
Plumber, Phil, came out on short notice on a Saturday night and fixed our issue quickly, professionally and courteously. I contacted a different, well known plumbing company right before Mr. Rooter. The receptionist was rude and they didn’t call me back to say they couldn’t make it until after Phil left! The Mr. Rooter receptionist was very nice and they called me back quickly. I’m glad they did.
I just wanted to say James did a great job at my house. Excellent service, professional and very nice. Thank you so much for helping me with my plumbing problem. Did wonderful job.
I was very happy that I went with Mr. Rooter’s. The service was very quick and up front. Jessie James was very helpful answering my questions and replacing my hot water heater. He was pleasurable to do business with. If another problem arises in my home, I will be using this company again.
A thorough, professional, pleasant experience. I had a back-up in the 50 year-old pipes of my new home. I called Mr. Rooter to have them locate the blockage, snake the line, and then use their video snake to get a visual of the integrity of the pipes. I’m glad that I called and will use them again for future needs.
You get what you pay for. Edwin Robles of Central NJ educated me as a 1st time homebuyer on why and what he was repairing, prevention, PROMPT,(on a sunday at that!) clean, knowledgeable, super professional but DOWN TO EARTH and at a REASONABLE PRICE! Sewer pipes unclogged and main water line fixed. I was no longer crying once job was thoroughly executed. After all $#@* $tinks but somebody has to do it and I HIGHLY recommend him and this company for a job well done. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
Absolutely lovely office staff! I always knew when the repair person was coming. Lorenzo our repair guy was awesome, I really don't think there is anything he can't do. He looks young, but don't let that fool you! So happy all the repairs are behind us. We really just did a one-stop shopping and decided to have everything we've put off fixed because it was such a tremendous experience!
As we mentioned earlier, a backup sump pump is power by a battery or water-pressure. A water-pressure powered device will have to be connected to your building’s water supply and will therefore require professional installation. But here is how to install your battery-powered backup sump pump:
