You know that sinking feeling when the power goes out during a heavy rain. Your sump pump stops working right when you need it most. Your finished basement, your kids’ playroom, your home office – everything you’ve invested in sits vulnerable in the dark.

No more rushing to the basement with a flashlight during storms. No more sleepless nights wondering if everything will be underwater by morning.

Your basement stays dry. Your belongings stay safe. You stay calm, knowing your backup system is handling business while you focus on what matters – keeping your family comfortable until the storm passes.

Complete Battery Backup Solutions

Everything You Need for Basement Protection

Your battery backup system includes the backup sump pump, marine-grade battery, automatic charging system, and all necessary connections to integrate with your existing setup. We handle the electrical connections, plumbing modifications, and any permits required in North Aurora.

Most systems provide 6-8 hours of continuous pumping during power outages, though exact runtime depends on how much water you’re dealing with. We’ll calculate the right battery capacity based on your home’s specific needs and typical groundwater conditions in your neighborhood.

You’ll also get clear instructions for basic maintenance, like checking battery connections and testing the system periodically. We’re available for annual maintenance visits or emergency service if you ever have concerns about your backup system’s performance.

Most battery backup systems provide 6-8 hours of continuous pumping, but runtime varies based on how frequently the pump cycles and your battery capacity. During typical power outages with moderate water flow, many systems run 12+ hours. We size your battery based on your home’s specific needs and local groundwater conditions. For extended outages, the battery recharges automatically once power returns, so you’re protected for the next event.
Yes, battery backup systems are designed to work with most existing sump pump installations. We connect the backup pump to your current discharge pipe and install it alongside your primary pump in the same pit. The backup system monitors your primary pump and only activates when needed. We’ll evaluate your current setup during our estimate to confirm compatibility and recommend any modifications needed for optimal performance.
While dual pump failure is rare, quality battery backup systems include alarm features that alert you if either pump isn’t working properly. Many systems have water level alarms and pump failure notifications. We also recommend annual maintenance to test both pumps and replace batteries as needed. If you ever experience issues with either pump, we provide emergency service to get your basement protection back online quickly.
Sump pump backup batteries typically last 3-5 years with proper maintenance, similar to car batteries. The charging system maintains the battery automatically, but batteries naturally lose capacity over time. We recommend annual testing to check battery performance and pump operation. When replacement time comes, it’s a straightforward process that doesn’t require modifying your plumbing or electrical connections.
Absolutely. Battery backup systems are particularly important for finished basements since you have more to lose if flooding occurs. The backup pump installs in your existing sump pit, and we can position the battery and control panel in convenient locations that don’t interfere with your finished space. Many homeowners install backup systems specifically because they’ve invested in basement renovations and want reliable protection for their improvements.
Permit requirements depend on the specific installation and any electrical work involved. We handle all necessary permits and ensure your installation meets North Aurora building codes and Illinois plumbing regulations. Our licensed plumbers know local requirements and include permit costs in your estimate when needed. You don’t need to worry about code compliance – we take care of the paperwork and inspections so your installation is completely legitimate and up to standard.
