Professional battery backup sump pump installation that works when your primary 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 creeping into your basement while you scramble for flashlights and wonder if everything you’ve stored down there is about to get ruined.
A battery backup sump pump changes everything. When the power cuts out, your backup system kicks in automatically. No manual switching, no running downstairs in the dark, no crossing your fingers and hoping for the best.
Your finished basement stays dry. Your stored belongings stay safe. You can actually sleep through storms instead of lying awake worrying about what you’ll find in the morning. The peace of mind alone makes it worth it, but when you factor in avoiding thousands in water damage costs, it’s one of the smartest investments you can make in your home.
We’ve been protecting Lake In The Hills basements for years. We understand how the clay soil around here holds water and puts extra pressure on foundation walls. We’ve seen what happens when backup systems aren’t installed correctly, and we’ve helped plenty of homeowners recover from flooding that could have been prevented.
We know which battery backup systems actually work in real-world conditions and which ones leave you high and dry when you need them most. We’re licensed, insured, and we stand behind every installation. When we set up your backup system, it’s going to work when the lights go out.
We start by evaluating your current sump pump setup and basement conditions. Every home is different, and the backup system needs to match your specific situation. We’ll measure your sump pit, check your existing pump capacity, and determine the right battery backup size for your needs.
Installation typically takes a few hours. We install the backup pump in your existing sump pit alongside your primary pump. The battery and control system get mounted nearby, and everything connects through an automatic switching system. When your primary pump loses power, the backup takes over within seconds.
Before we leave, we test the entire system to make sure it’s working correctly. We’ll show you how to check the battery status and explain the maintenance schedule. You’ll get documentation on your system specs and our contact information for any future service needs.

We install battery backup systems that can run for hours, not minutes. The marine-grade batteries we use are designed for deep discharge cycles, which means they’ll provide reliable power when you need it most. Our backup pumps can handle the same water volume as most primary pumps, so you’re not getting watered-down protection.
Every system includes an alarm that alerts you when the backup is running, so you know if there’s an issue with your primary pump or power supply. The control panel shows battery status and system health at a glance. We also include automatic battery charging, so your backup is always ready.
You’ll get a complete walkthrough of your new system, including how to test it periodically and when to schedule battery replacement. Most homeowners find the system so reliable they forget it’s there until they actually need it during a storm.
