Section 04 — FAQ
Quick answers
No. 01 How often should I replace my sump pump?
How often should I replace my sump pump?
Every 7–10 years for a primary pump that runs occasionally; sooner if it runs often. Battery backups should be load-tested annually and replaced every 5 years.
No. 02 Do I really need a battery backup?
Do I really need a battery backup?
If a power outage during a storm would flood your basement, yes. Most basement floods happen exactly when power is out and the sump can’t run.
No. 03 Can you also handle my sewage ejector pump?
Can you also handle my sewage ejector pump?
Yes. Below-grade bathrooms and laundry rooms rely on a sewage ejector — different pump from a sump, same level of urgency when it fails.
