Have you considered a back-up pump?

Should you consider a second, back-up pump for your basement conversion?

In the event of a power failure coinciding with storm and flood conditions - which is not an uncommon event - it would be advisable to have a secondary battery-powered pump in place to prevent potential disaster.

After spending money to damp-proof and convert your basement or cellar, the last thing you would want is to have the finishings, furniture and contents damaged by flood.

We always recommend a sump and electric pump to continually take away water and moisture from underground spaces such as converted basements and cellars. An ideal precautionary measure is to install, at the same time, a secondary back-up pump as peace of mind that, should the power fail your belongings and living space are safe from risk of damage or destruction.
