[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, we have a back-up battery for the current pump and will get that replaced, too. We will also want the plumber to redirect the discharge pipe in our backyard. -OP[/quote]The battery back-up pump should not need replacing. It probably almost never turned on. Replace the battery only. Make sure the plumber buries the discharge pipe and runs it out a good 15 feet or more away from the house, ending in a yard drain, not just open to daylight. It should also have an air gap, anti-freeze device installed where it exits the house. [/quote]
