Basement Waterproofing - How Our Battery-Backed Sump Pump Can Make a Difference for Central Kentucky Homes

Did Your Home's Power Go Out From The Storms?

In Kentucky, the number of home's that lost power over the weekend got up to the six digit mark. A large portion of these homes also had their sump pumps go out. Power outages and heavy rainfalls are highly correlated, and that's why it's so important your waterproofing system has a back up plan for when the power goes out. Read this short article to learn why we highly recommend our UltraSump 4 battery backed sump system.

The UltraSump 4: Not Just for Power Outages

What makes the UltraSump 4 truly stand out is that it’s a completely separate pump, independent from your main system. It’s installed above the primary pump in the sump liner, ready to activate at a moment’s notice. If water rises past the main pump and triggers the UltraSump’s switch, the backup pump kicks on automatically, notifying you that the primary system has failed. Whether it’s a power outage, mechanical problem, or simply an overwhelmed main pump, the UltraSump 4 has your back.

Key Features of the UltraSump 4:

• Can discharge up to 12,000 gallons of water at a 10-foot lift on a fully charged battery. (The “lift” refers to how high the discharge line needs to elevate the water.)
• Automatically recharges when connected to power.
• Equipped with a TimeMachine data logger that stores up to ten years of diagnostics, including pump cycles, battery health, humidity, and temperature readings.
• Features an audible alarm to alert you when the main pump has failed.

With unpredictable weather in Central Kentucky, having the peace of mind that the UltraSump 4 provides is invaluable.
