Sump pumps and battery backup in Dayton, OH
A sump pump is the last line of defense for a basement: it lifts collected water out and away from the house. Pumps wear out, floats stick, and the worst storms often knock out power right when the pump is needed most.
Options range from a straight replacement to a higher-capacity pump, a battery backup or water-powered backup, and a discharge line routed far enough from the foundation that the water doesn't cycle back in.
