A battery backup pump protects your basement when your main sump system fails during a power outage. Our systems operate automatically, even when power, Wi-Fi, and your primary sump pump go offline — keeping your foundation safe from rising water.
Installation includes deep-cycle batteries, dedicated float switches, and optional smart alerts that notify you when your pump activates. All systems are tested post-installation for runtime, alarm activation, and discharge routing.
A battery backup pump activates automatically when your main sump system fails due to a power outage, electrical fault, or pump burnout.
In Toronto, many basement floods happen not because the home lacked a sump pump—but because the pump stopped working during a storm. Most sump pumps rely on electrical power, meaning any thunderstorm, blown fuse, or tripped breaker renders the system useless when it's needed most. A battery backup pump ensures water continues to be removed from your sump pit, even if the grid goes down for hours. Homes with finished basements, below-grade plumbing, or previous flood events are especially vulnerable and should always have a secondary system in place.
That’s why many Toronto homeowners integrate battery backup as part of their full basement waterproofing services to ensure complete protection against flooding.
Installing a battery backup pump is a precision process that ensures seamless operation alongside your existing sump system.
At Aquaboss, every installation follows a strict technical protocol to guarantee compatibility, performance, and long-term reliability.

We begin by inspecting your sump pit, existing pump, discharge line, and power supply to determine system compatibility. This inspection ensures that the battery backup can be integrated without interfering with the performance of your primary sump system.
We select a backup pump based on your home’s layout, drainage volume, and flood risk. The unit is matched to your needs in terms of GPH (gallons per hour) rating and battery runtime. In high-risk areas, we may install dual batteries or high-output units for extended coverage.
We install a sealed battery case, smart control unit, and charger in an accessible but secure location near your sump basin. This setup powers the pump and handles alert signals and battery conditioning.
The backup pump is connected to your existing discharge pipe using a dedicated float switch and an anti-backflow valve. This integration allows both pumps to use the same outlet without requiring secondary trenching or additional plumbing lines.
After installation, we run a full cycle test to confirm the backup pump activates correctly, the float responds on time, the discharge rate is stable, and alerts function as expected. We then guide you through checking charge levels and verifying battery status before and after storm events.
A battery backup pump works independently of your home’s electrical system, using a deep-cycle battery and dedicated float switch to keep water out of your basement during blackouts.
When the water level rises in your sump pit, the float sensor activates the battery-powered pump, even if the main pump is offline.
The system then discharges water through the same exterior line as your primary pump, preventing backup and overflow.
A smart control panel monitors voltage levels, triggers audible alerts, and may send push notifications if connected to a monitoring app. Rechargeable batteries provide 4 to 8 hours of continuous pumping, depending on the model and water inflow rate.
The system resets itself automatically once power is restored and recharges the battery for future storms.

If your home has a sump pump but no secondary system, it’s at risk during any power outage, storm surge, or pump malfunction.
Finished basements, stored valuables, or home offices located below grade are particularly vulnerable to water damage if the main sump system fails.
If any of below apply, a battery backup system is a critical layer of flood prevention. The cost of one flood often exceeds the price of full installation and battery replacement for years.
Signs that indicate you need a backup pump include:
Power failures during storms, especially when the basement sump pit fills up quickly or Frequent GFCI breaker trips, which disable the main pump without warning
Noisy or aging pump motors, which may fail under heavy demand
Past flooding events, even if minor, suggest your current protection is incomplete
Extended travel or absence from home, which makes manual response impossible during outages

H2 – Battery Backup vs Water-Powered Pumps: Which One Is Best?
Both battery backup pumps and water-powered pumps serve the same purpose: to keep your basement dry during a primary sump pump failure.
However, they work in fundamentally different ways — and one may suit your home better depending on your plumbing layout, municipal pressure, and storm patterns in Toronto.
Battery backup systems operate independently from city infrastructure by drawing stored electrical power from a deep-cycle battery. When water in the sump pit rises, the float switch activates the pump instantly. These systems are capable of handling large volumes of water, even during extended power outages.
Water-powered pumps use consistent municipal water pressure to generate a siphoning effect that evacuates water from the sump pit. These systems are fully mechanical and do not require batteries, but they depend on strong and uninterrupted city pressure to function effectively during a storm.
Battery backup pumps are recommended for finished basements, homes with essential electrical systems, or areas that experience frequent or prolonged power outages. Water-powered pumps are a good alternative in homes without battery space or as an additional layer of protection beyond the primary and battery systems.
The cost of installing a battery backup pump in Toronto typically ranges between $850 and $2,500, depending on the system’s capacity, runtime, and level of integration.
Pricing also varies based on whether the unit is tied into an existing sump system or part of a full basement waterproofing project.
Backup pumps are rated by their gallons-per-hour (GPH) output and estimated battery runtime. Pumps with higher GPH ratings or dual battery configurations cost more but offer extended protection during long power outages.
Every Aquaboss package includes:
There are no hidden fees, and restoration of disturbed surfaces is always included.
Before installation, we offer a free on-site evaluation to assess power outage risk, sump usage patterns, and basement flooding potential. After the assessment, you'll receive a detailed quote along with system recommendations tailored to your home's layout and risk level.
Aquaboss provides free, no-obligation consultations for homeowners in Toronto who want to protect their basement from flooding caused by sump pump failure as part of comprehensive basement waterproofing services.
Our technician will inspect your current sump setup, evaluate flood risk based on location and drainage load, and recommend a battery backup system that fits your home’s needs and layout.
We also perform risk scoring to identify whether your property is in a known flood zone or has previously reported outages.This helps us determine the urgency, scope, and configuration of your backup solution.
