At Roncelli Plumbing, we provide professional sump pump installation, safety inspections, and hybrid backup systems to keep your home protected year-round. The flood stops here!
Why Sump Pump Safety Matters
A sump pump failure during a storm can result in:
Basement flooding
Foundation damage
Mold and mildew growth
Electrical hazards
Thousands of dollars in repairs
Routine maintenance and a properly installed backup system significantly reduce the risk of unexpected failure.
What Is a Sump Pump Backup System?
A sump pump backup system is designed to activate automatically if:
- The primary pump fails
- The activation switch fails
- The power goes out
- The main pump becomes overwhelmed
Backup options include:
- Battery Backup Sump Pumps – Continue operating during power outages — common during severe Michigan storms.
- Dual Pump Alternating System – This is a long lasting maintenance free system for homes that have a whole house automatic generator.
- Water-Powered Backup Systems – Operate using municipal water pressure when electricity is unavailable.
Our licensed plumbers can assess your home’s needs and recommend the best backup solution for your basement.
Signs Your Sump Pump May Be Unsafe or Failing
You may need sump pump repair or drain tile inspection if you notice:
- Strange noises or vibration
- High humidity in basement
- Wet spots around foundation
- Continuous running
- Failure to turn on during heavy rain
- Visible rust or corrosion
- Pump age 7–10 years
If your system doesn’t have a backup in place, your home may be vulnerable during storms.
Benefits of Installing a Backup System
- Protection during power outages
- Reduced flood risk
- Peace of mind during storms
- Extended lifespan of your primary pump
- Lower long-term repair costs
For homeowners in Shelby Township, installing a sump pump backup system is one of the smartest preventative plumbing upgrades available.

Sump Safety
Many homes only have one sump pump. By installing a back-up auxiliary pump, you’ll protect your home against primary sump pump failures and power outages, which will save you from flooding and home damage.
Is Your Sump Well Gross & Grimey?
You should be able to clearly see to the bottom of your sump pump well. The well shouldn’t be dirty, grimey, or filled with slime. If it is, then that is an indication of some serious backup of things like iron oxide, algae, or something more in your pipes.
Is Your Basement Flooding?
You should not be experiencing flooding in your basement. This is a sign of a serious issue, either with your sump pump, the surrounding pipes, or the drain tiles of your house. Our experts will find the problem and clear it out, helping you to avoid costly cleanup and damage to your property.
