Homeowners struggle to prevent sump pump failure during power outages, risking basement flooding and thousands in water damage

Homeowners with sump pumps face a critical vulnerability: when the power goes out, their primary pump stops working, leaving basements exposed to flooding during heavy rain or snowmelt. Current battery backup solutions either overload home electrical circuits when both pumps run simultaneously, or require expensive professional installation. This creates a dangerous gap where people must choose between risking circuit damage or risking catastrophic water damage.
