Water-Powered Backup Sump Pump - Venturi Principle | Roto-Rooter

A water-powered backup sump pump installed by Roto-Rooter will prevent your basement from flooding, even during a power outage, or if your primary sump pump has failed. It requires no batteries or electricity and it may be the most reliable backup sump pump you can buy.

Water-powered backup sump pumps use your home's municipal water pressure to power the pump. When a float switch is triggered, it opens a valve sending water from your home's water supply through a pump ejector and creating a powerful suction. It's the Venturi Principle and it siphons water out of your basement sump pit, directing it to a storm drain or a detention basin to prevent basement flooding.

I called Roto-Rooter and ask for a quote on this yesterday. Tech came out and had no idea what this was. Called his supervisor about it and said that they wouldn’t do it and that the water pressure back up systems are a joke anyway. Then tried to sell me a $3, 100 battery back up system. Why have these videos and ads if you can’t do the service?

It’s all great till your water supply goes out, then what? Best to have a battery back up pump.
