Professional battery backup systems that keep your sump pump running when you need it most.
You know that sinking feeling when the power goes out during a heavy storm. Your primary sump pump stops working right when you need it most. Water starts rising in your basement while you’re scrambling for flashlights and hoping the power comes back on.
A battery backup sump pump system changes everything. When your main pump loses power, the backup system kicks in automatically. No manual switches, no running downstairs in the middle of the night, no crossing your fingers and hoping for the best.
Your finished basement stays dry. Your stored belongings stay safe. Your family sleeps through the storm while the backup system does its job. You wake up to a dry basement and the peace of mind that comes from having real protection when it matters most.
We’ve been protecting Arlington Heights basements for years. We’ve seen what happens when backup systems fail, and we’ve learned what it takes to install systems that work when you need them.
We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re not just buying a backup pump – you’re investing in professional installation, quality components, and the confidence that comes from working with plumbers who understand how critical these systems are.
When storm season hits Arlington Heights, you’ll know your basement is protected by a system we installed right the first time.
We start by evaluating your current sump pump setup and basement layout. Not every backup system works in every situation, so we determine the best battery backup configuration for your specific needs.
The installation involves connecting the backup pump to your existing sump pit, installing the battery system, and setting up the automatic switching mechanism. The backup pump activates immediately when your primary pump stops working or can’t keep up with heavy water flow.
We test the entire system before we leave, walking you through how it operates and what to expect during an actual power outage. You’ll know exactly how long the battery will run and when you might need to call for service. Most installations take a few hours, and you’ll have full protection the same day.
Ready to get started?
Your battery backup system includes the backup sump pump, marine-grade battery, automatic switching controls, and all necessary piping and electrical connections. We use systems designed specifically for basement protection, not general-purpose pumps that might work for a while.
The battery systems we install provide several hours of continuous operation during power outages. That’s enough time to get through most storm events, even extended ones. If you have a larger basement or higher water table issues, we can install higher-capacity batteries or dual-battery configurations.
Every system comes with clear instructions for basic maintenance and battery care. We also offer annual service visits to test the system, clean the components, and replace batteries when needed. You’ll never wonder if your backup system is ready for the next storm.
