Battery Backups

Protect Your Home With Battery Backups

Battery backups are essential for ensuring your home remains protected during emergencies. These backups can pump water for extended periods, depending on the battery size and sump pump discharge height. While they may not be as powerful as standard pumps operating on 110 volts, they still offer reliable performance. For instance, our battery backup models can pump up to 20 gallons per minute with a discharge height of up to 10 feet, providing peace of mind during power outages or pump failures.

Drains Inc Offers Two Types Of Battery Backups

At Drains Inc, we understand the importance of having a dependable battery backup system in place. That’s why we offer two types of battery backup systems to suit your needs. The first type is designed to run your primary sump pump when a secondary pump isn’t required. With our battery system, you can expect it to operate for up to two days, depending on usage, pump size, and discharge height. This ensures your basement remains protected even during severe rainstorms or power outages.

The second type of battery backup sump pump can be installed alongside your primary pump in the same pump pit. These pumps often feature indicators to alert you to the battery’s status, such as a continuous beep when the battery is low or a chirp similar to a smoke detector with a low battery charge. With our battery backup services, you can rest assured that your home is equipped to handle any emergency.

We Install Battery Backups- Let Our Experience Work For You.

For your free estimate and more information about our backup battery services for your sump pump system, contact Drains Inc today. We’re here to help you safeguard your home and valuables from potential flood damage.

Left a message at 11 PM and got a response back within minutes. In the morning, Tim was here to take care of the issue with our sewage system. Super professional, great personality, and the job is done! A++

My experience with Drains Inc. was nothing but a pleasure, from the moment the phone was answered to the time they left our home. Tim was amazing to work with, very personable and informative. We had a pretty unusual sewer drain issue that turned into a much bigger headache than expected, and he went above and beyond to get it taken care of. He was straightforward, easy to talk to, hardworking, and clearly knew what he was doing. No BS, no runaround, very honest and fair. You can tell he takes pride in his work and actually cares about the people he’s helping. I’d recommend Tim without hesitation, and he’ll be the first person I call for anything plumbing-related in the future. 5 stars all day long.

Had a wonderful experience with Tim and Drains Inc. They replaced the service line from our house to septic tank. It was tricky with the line running underneath some other mechanicals but they navigated perfectly.

Tim was out to our home today and we were incredibly impressed with his expertise, ethics and determination to resolve our problem. Tim and his associate worked in the pouring rain to get to the bottom of our flooding in our lower patio. Anyone else, would have tried to fix it and when the attempt didn't work, they would have left. Tim searched high and low for drain access and would not stop until he found the solution. If we could, we would give Tim 10 stars, but not possible. If you're looking for a professional who cares about his work and your issue, look no further, you have found that in Drains, Inc.

Tim took the time to not only call back to keep me posted about an appointment time for a clogged line, but he took the time to thoroughly investigate the house and lines before rushing to repair. It made me feel good during a very stressful time. He talked through his thinking and then tested his work with gallons of water to ensure the line was clear. He’s systematic, polite, friendly, knowledgeable, and he even took the time to clean leaving everything in great condition.

Tim from Drains inc. saved us a small fortune from the possible need for excavation and replacement of a section of sewer line. He was recommended on Angi’s list so after the initial sewer company’s failure to clean the line both with rodding and hydrojetting, Tim was an alternative to try. He used a smaller claw to initially get through the blockage and then proceeded to clean out the entire sewer liner to the street. We appreciate Angi’s list and Tim from Drains inc. for his honesty and persistence and for saving me the aggravation, headache and expense of the sewer line replacement and will continue to use and recommend him to others. Thank you Tim !
