Sump Pump & Water-Powered Backup Install – Lexington, KY 40503
Customer Issue: The homeowner wanted a fail-proof crawl space setup. Standard pumps work great, but a heavy storm can knock the power out right when you need them most.
What We Did: We got down in the crawl space and set up a dual-defense system. We installed a primary pump and paired it with a Liberty SumpJet water-powered backup. We tapped the cold water line with a clean blue PEX run and a dedicated shut-off, then piped dual PVC discharge lines with independent check valves.
Result: A dry crawl space and peace of mind. No matter how hard it pours or if the power grid goes offline, this system keeps the foundation safe.
Why It Matters: Battery backups are common, but they run out of juice. A water-powered backup is a brilliant alternative:
—How it works: It uses municipal water pressure to create a vacuum, suctioning the pit dry.
—Infinite runtime: No batteries or electricity needed—it pumps as long as your city water is on.
—No maintenance: No batteries to decay, service, or fail.
—Code-compliant routing: Tapping water lines requires precise backflow prevention to keep drinking water safe. We built it to the highest standard.
