Professional battery backup installation that works when your primary sump pump can’t.
You know that sinking feeling when the power goes out during a heavy storm. Your sump pump stops working right when you need it most. Water starts rising in your basement while you scramble for solutions.
A properly installed battery backup sump pump changes everything. When the power cuts out, your backup system kicks in automatically. No intervention needed from you. No panicked calls to neighbors or frantic bucket brigades.
Your finished basement stays dry. Your stored belongings remain safe. You can actually sleep through storms knowing your backup system is handling business downstairs. That’s what real peace of mind feels like.
We’ve been protecting Glen Ellyn basements for years. We’ve responded to enough flooded basement emergencies to know exactly what goes wrong and when.
Most basement floods happen during power outages when primary sump pumps fail. We’ve seen homeowners lose thousands in damage because they didn’t have proper backup protection. That’s why we focus on prevention instead of cleanup.
Our licensed plumbers understand Glen Ellyn’s unique drainage challenges and soil conditions. We install battery backup systems that actually work when you need them most.
We start by evaluating your current sump pump setup and basement layout. Every home is different, so we size the battery backup system based on your specific needs and pump capacity.
Next, we install the backup pump alongside your primary pump in the same pit. The battery system connects through a control panel that monitors your primary pump’s operation. When it detects pump failure or power loss, the backup system activates immediately.
We test everything thoroughly before we leave. You’ll see exactly how the system switches over and how long the battery will run. We also show you the simple maintenance steps to keep everything running properly. The whole process typically takes a few hours, and you’re protected for years.
