Professional battery backup systems that keep your basement dry when the power goes out and storms hit Crystal Lake hardest.
When the power cuts out during a storm, your primary sump pump becomes useless. That’s exactly when you need it most. A properly installed battery backup sump pump kicks in automatically, giving you continuous protection even when the grid fails.
You’ll sleep better knowing your finished basement, stored belongings, and expensive equipment stay safe. No more rushing to the basement during every thunderstorm to check if everything’s still dry.
The right backup system handles the heavy lifting while you’re away, asleep, or dealing with other storm-related issues. Your basement protection never takes a break, even when Commonwealth Edison does.
We’ve been protecting Crystal Lake basements for years. We understand how quickly water can become a problem in our area, especially during those heavy spring storms that knock out power right when you need your sump pump most.
We’re not general handymen trying to figure out your basement. We’re licensed plumbers who specialize in keeping water where it belongs. When you call us, you’re getting someone who has seen every type of basement flooding scenario Crystal Lake can throw at a house.
Our team lives and works in the area. We know which neighborhoods flood first and which backup systems work best for different basement setups.
First, we evaluate your current sump pump setup and basement layout. Not every backup system works for every situation, so we size the battery and pump capacity based on your specific water flow needs and basement size.
Next, we install the battery backup pump alongside your existing primary pump. The system monitors your main pump and automatically switches to battery power when it detects a failure or power outage. No manual switching or guesswork involved.
Finally, we test the entire system to make sure everything activates properly. We show you the status indicators, explain the maintenance schedule, and set up any monitoring features. You’ll know exactly how the system works and when the battery needs attention.

Your installation includes the backup pump, marine-grade battery, automatic switching controller, and all necessary plumbing connections. We handle the electrical work, test all components, and make sure everything integrates smoothly with your existing sump pump.
Crystal Lake’s clay soil and high water table mean your backup system needs to handle significant water volume during extended outages. We size batteries to provide several hours of runtime, not just a few minutes of emergency pumping.
You also get a full walkthrough of the system operation, maintenance schedule, and our emergency service contact information. We’re available when storms hit because that’s when backup systems matter most.
