Reliable battery backup sump pump systems that automatically kick in when your primary pump fails or power cuts out.
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. Your basement becomes vulnerable to thousands of dollars in water damage.
A battery backup sump pump changes that completely. When your primary pump fails or loses power, the backup system automatically takes over. No more lying awake wondering if your basement is flooding. No more rushing downstairs with a flashlight every time the lights flicker.
Your finished basement, your stored belongings, your peace of mind – they’re all protected. The system runs quietly in the background until you need it, then springs into action without you having to do anything. Most backup systems provide 8-12 hours of continuous pumping power, which covers the vast majority of power outages and pump failures.
We’ve been serving Huntley and the surrounding areas with reliable plumbing solutions that actually work when you need them. We’re not the company that shows up, installs equipment, and disappears. We stick around.
Our team understands how Huntley’s weather patterns affect your home’s drainage systems. We’ve seen what happens during those spring storms and summer downpours that knock out power for hours. That’s why we only install battery backup systems we’d put in our own basements.
Every installation comes with proper testing, clear explanations of how your system works, and ongoing support. We’re licensed, insured, and available when emergencies happen – because basement flooding doesn’t wait for business hours.
We start by evaluating your current sump pump setup and basement drainage needs. Every home is different, and your backup system needs to match your specific situation. We measure your sump pit, check your existing pump’s capacity, and determine the right backup system size.
The installation typically takes a few hours. We install the backup pump alongside your existing primary pump in the same pit. The battery and control system go nearby, connected with waterproof wiring. Everything gets tested thoroughly before we leave – we actually simulate pump failure to make sure the backup kicks in properly.
Once installed, the system monitors your primary pump continuously. If water levels rise and your main pump doesn’t respond, or if power goes out, the battery backup automatically starts pumping. You’ll hear an audible alarm letting you know the backup system is running. The battery recharges automatically when power returns, so your system is always ready for the next event.

Your battery backup sump pump installation includes everything needed for reliable operation. We provide the backup pump sized for your specific needs, a deep-cycle marine battery that’s built for repeated discharge cycles, and a smart control system that monitors both pumps and switches automatically.
The control panel includes audible and visual alarms so you know when the backup system is running. We install a battery charger that keeps your backup power ready at all times. All wiring is waterproof and meets local electrical codes – this isn’t a DIY project you want to get wrong.
We also walk you through basic maintenance like checking battery connections and testing the alarm system. Most batteries last 3-5 years with normal use, and we can help you replace them when the time comes. You’ll get warranty coverage on the installation and equipment, plus our contact information for any questions that come up later.
